About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child feels underestimated due to their size, or conversely, when a child has started making judgments about others based on their appearance. In this gentle story, Molly Pink is frustrated that her family treats her like a baby on their hiking trip. When she meets Robert, a boy even smaller than her, she dismisses him. But Robert's surprising knowledge and kindness teach Molly that a person's abilities have nothing to do with their size. This book is a wonderful tool for early elementary schoolers to open conversations about empathy, self-confidence, and the importance of looking past first impressions.
