This book will help you get ahead of some BIG emotions!
We all experience feelings of jealousy. But what we do with those feelings of jealousy is what matters. This book shows us how a child exhibits those feelings throughout her day.
She works hard on a drawing only for no one to pay attention to it. Not only do they not pay attention to it but they praise another student for her drawing. It seems like everywhere she goes– people are talking about this other drawing! She just can’t get away from it.
I like that this book not only shows us the wrong way, but also shows the main character dealing with regret over those wrong decisions.
How to use this children’s book
