What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
There are no sensitive topics in this book. The approach is entirely secular and focuses on universal emotional experiences. The resolution is consistently hopeful and positive.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a 3 to 5-year-old who gets easily frustrated by minor setbacks and is prone to whining or declaring that things are "not fair." This book is for the child who needs a simple, concrete tool to help them shift their focus from disappointment to appreciation.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book's language is simple and its message is direct. It can be read cold at any time, but it is particularly effective as a calming tool before a nap or bedtime. The parent has just navigated a tantrum or a period of pouting because a specific snack wasn't available, a sibling has a toy they want, or it started raining during playtime. The parent is looking for a way to introduce the concept of being thankful for what you *do* have.
