Perspective helps children understand that everyone sees the world differently â and thatâs a good thing.
Through the story and its 10 lessons, kids learn how their experiences shape their point of view, how to pause before reacting, and how to look at situations from all sides before making a decision. These lessons gently teach children to be thoughtful, flexible thinkers who can listen, consider, and respond with wisdom. A child who understands perspective is a child who can navigate friendships, challenges, and choices with more confidence.
