With her distinctive blend of whimsical and intelligent monsters, beloved children's author Elise Gravel explains the importance of cooperation and building a cohesive community. Others take care of us when we are sick or in pain, teach us, and protect us. They help us in many ways, even if their presence may sometimes make us feel upset or angry.In poignant and relevant style, Elise stresses the importance of friendship, building support networks, and how through communication and support we can ensure the care and safety of all members of our communities. Our societies take care of us, and we must take care of them.
“This is a great book to read to children to open up conversations about how others can make them feel safe, and how they can protect others and create a caring environment for them.”In a time of widespread division around the world, Elise Gravelle's work is a guiding light, helping to build a generation of socially conscious readers who understand that strong communities create happiness and security for all.
