Kind Crocodile

Reach for this book when your child is feeling small, intimidated by peers, or struggling to find their place in a group. It is the perfect choice for a toddler or preschooler who is beginning to navigate the playground and needs to see that even the most 'scary' or big things can be kind and protective. In this vibrant story, a series of animals flee from larger predators only to find safety behind a very large, very kind crocodile. As they pile onto his back, they realize that while they are small individually, together they create a formidable and brave team. With Leo Timmers' signature humor and expressive art, the book explores themes of empathy, physical courage, and the strength found in numbers. It is a reassuring read that transforms fear into a sense of belonging and collective power.
