What Do You Do With a Kangaroo?

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with boundaries, bossiness from others, or feeling overwhelmed by expectations. It is a humorous and relatable tool for children who are learning how to say no and stand their ground when their personal space is invaded. The story follows a young girl who encounters a series of increasingly demanding animals, from a kangaroo in her bed to a tiger in her tricycle, who simply refuse to listen to her polite requests. Through absurdist humor and expressive illustrations, the book validates a child's frustration while modeling assertiveness. It is particularly effective for children aged 3 to 7 who are navigating the transition from toddlerhood to early elementary years, as it provides a safe, imaginative space to practice setting limits. Parents will find it a helpful bridge to discuss consent, personal property, and how to handle situations when words alone do not seem to work.
