Draw the Line

A parent can reach for this book when their child is struggling with friendship, especially when a small disagreement spirals into a big fight. This wordless story visually follows two boys who discover the joy of creating together by connecting their simple lines. When one accidentally messes up the other's drawing, their collaborative fun turns into an angry battle of scribbles that traps them both. It's a powerful and accessible story about how anger can escalate, the importance of empathy, and the collaborative work it takes to forgive and reconnect. Its wordless format is perfect for ages 4 to 7, allowing children to interpret the emotions and narrate the story themselves, which opens up fantastic conversations about their own feelings and friendships.
