Synopsis

In 12 playful and adventurous scenarios, young or baby animals take a stand that demonstrates courage in the face of a challenge, along with kindness and willingness to help others. Short simple text makes for easy comprehension. The book can serve as a stimulus for lots of adult-child discussion of principles like courage, discernment and caring. A preventative for the pre-school child, this is a valuable contribution to anti-“bullying” literature that never mentions the word. Instead, it is packed with impressions to encourage creativity, individuality and confidence, skills that can combat the susceptibility to peer pressure so damaging to children.
