Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how it feels when things go wrong, and how temporary most disappointments are. What is a bad day? Why did the bird feel his day was bad? What about the white dog? The orange fox? Or the little brown squirrel? What changed to make their days better? What kind of day did the little girl have? What made it good? What would have happened if the yellow bird had not lost his feather? Have you ever had a bad day? How long did it last? What did you do about it? Have you had good days? What made them good?

Sweet Book - a Real Keeper
This is a short quick read for when you don't have the inclination or energy for a longer more complex story. Sometimes I would like to just read 5 or 6 short books to my 4 year old. The illustrations and story are beautiful. I will keep this for my grandchildren.
