Todo empezo con caracol (Snail Started It)

Reach for this book when your child has either been hurt by a friend's comment or, perhaps more importantly, when you notice they are using 'teasing' words that hurt others. This story illustrates the 'butterfly effect' of unkindness. It begins when Snail makes a mean comment to Mother Pig, which ruins her mood and leads her to snap at the next animal she sees. The cycle continues until the insults come full circle back to Snail. Appropriate for children ages 4 to 8, this book is a gentle tool for teaching impulse control and the social consequences of our words. Parents will appreciate how it de-escalates the tension of 'bullying' by showing it as a chain reaction that can be broken with a single apology. It provides a clear, non-judgmental framework for discussing how moods are contagious and how kindness is a choice we make every day.
