About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their well-meaning child's attempts to 'help' consistently create more chaos than calm. Little Miss Helpful is a sweet character who loves to assist her friends, but her solutions are always comically misguided. From tying a knot in Mr. Happy's nose to stop a cold to finding Mr. Tall a new home in a telephone booth, her efforts always go hilariously wrong. This simple, funny story is perfect for children aged 3 to 7. It provides a wonderful opportunity to talk about good intentions, empathy, and how it's okay if things don't turn out perfectly when you are trying to be kind. It's a gentle, humorous way to normalize mistakes and celebrate the desire to help, even when the execution is flawed.
