Hoppy's Kind Adventure

Reach for this book when your child is beginning to navigate their first social friendships or when they seem hesitant to step out of their comfort zone to help others. It is an ideal choice for the child who is observant but perhaps needs a gentle push to see how their small actions impact those around them. Through Hoppy's encounter with a lost squirrel, the story models proactive empathy and the courage required to stop and help a stranger. It transitions beautifully from a mission of kindness to a peaceful, sensory-rich conclusion under the stars. This book is particularly effective for ages 3 to 7 as a tool for winding down while reinforcing the day's positive behaviors and the quiet joy of being a reliable friend.
