This tender retelling of Aesop's fable follows a grandfather, a boy, and their donkey as they try to follow every opinion they hear-until the world becomes upside down, tangled, and far too heavy.
In today's world, four children face the same struggle. A pair of yellow boots, a plate of broccoli, a soccer ball, and a cardboard space helmet become small windows into the big feelings of growing up.
With soft humor and gentle wisdom, Listen to Yourself reminds young readers:
Your choices matter. Your feelings matter. Being yourself is enough.
A comforting picture book for children learning to trust their own voice.
