Peace, Bugs, and Understanding

Reach for this book when your child is caught in a cycle of sibling conflict or is struggling to manage a 'hot' temper. It provides a concrete roadmap for those moments when frustration leads to physical lashing out, helping children move from guilt and anger toward emotional regulation. Through the story of Lily and her younger sister, the book introduces the concept of Metta (loving kindness), transforming a common family conflict into a lesson on mindfulness. It is ideal for children ages 4 to 9 who are ready to explore the connection between their feelings and their actions. Parents will appreciate how it validates the difficulty of being a big sibling while offering a gentle, heritage-based solution through a grandfather's journal. It bridges the gap between feeling 'mad' and finding peace through a structured, ancient practice presented in a kid-friendly way.
