Charlie the Koala was the center of attention when he was young, and he was used to getting his way. Charlie didn’t pick up his toys when he was asked. He didn’t get ready for bed on time. He even ignored the classroom rules. Charlie was very unhappy when his parents and his teacher punished him, and he didn’t think that it was fair at all.
In this gentle, encouraging book, psychologist Martine Agassi helps young children understand that they are capable of positive, loving actions.
Simple words and warm, inviting full-color illustrations reinforce the underlying concepts: that violence is never okay, and kids can learn to manage their anger.
Children learn that their words belong to them: They can think before they speak, then choose what to say and how to say it. The book makes the connection between hurtful words and feelings of anger, sadness, and regret. It introduces positive ways for children to respond when others say mean or unkind words to them. And it reinforces the importance of saying “I’m sorry,” two little words that can be a big help. Includes activities and discussion starters that parents, caregivers, and educators can use when working with children.
