In these books, helping is something children can see: a girl waddling beside a penguin who can’t keep up, a panda blowing gently so an ant gets home, friends pulling together on “One, two, three!”, a squirrel who quiets the whole forest so a shy cricket can sing.
After reading, the questions on each story’s page are an easy way to talk about how the characters helped each other, and how your child helps their own friends.
