Illustrations and simple text help children to understand the importance of respecting and caring for others and treating people with love and kindness.

Wanting to be accepted by peers is a natural part of children's social development. Yet kids can be overly influenced by what "friends" think of them or urge them to do. Through simple language and engaging illustrations, this book explains the concept of peer pressure. It encourages a solid sense of self-identity-or "elf-identity"-and teaches kids how to say "No."

Grieving kids will have a friendly and loving guide to help them cope with loss.
