About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling to navigate social boundaries or feels a compulsive need to manage everyone else's business.

It is a relatable exploration of the fine line between being helpful and being intrusive. Ideal for children aged 8 to 12, the story provides a safe space to discuss the consequences of bossiness and the importance of respecting privacy. Through Kristy's mistakes and eventual apologies, kids learn how to pivot from control to empathy.
