Help Your Child See That Big Feelings Can Be Gentle Too!
Meet Bamboo, a gentle giant German Shepherd with big paws, kind eyes, and a heart full of birthday hopes.
It is Bamboo's birthday, and she has sent invitations to her friends. She wants everything to be just right - the bows, the cake, the decorations, and most of all, her smile.
But even gentle giants can feel nervous.
What if her friends don't come?
What if she looks too big?
What if Balloonie, Harriet the Hat, and Confetti are afraid of her?
With a little courage, a cosy home, and a heart ready for friendship, Bamboo discovers that being yourself is the best way to welcome others.
Bamboo and Balloonie is a warm, beautifully illustrated children's picture book about friendship, kindness, confidence, birthday excitement, and overcoming worries.
Perfect for children aged 3-7, this gentle story is ideal for bedtime reading, classroom story time, social-emotional learning, and children who love dogs, balloons, parties, and cosy friendship stories.
This is Bamboo's side of the story. Readers can also enjoy Balloonie's side in Balloonie and Bamboo, or discover both perspectives together in the Twin Edition.
