My Red Trunked Friend: Playing Together

"A little after sunset and the evening meal,
I organize the toys in my room with zeal
I brush my teeth, put pajamas on and go to bed,
Quietly thoughts arrive and dreams enter my head."

This is the story about Michael, a little boy who likes to play with his friends and his toys.
But there is one thing you should know about Michael – he feels that it is sometimes ok to use force against his friends. What will convince him to change his ways?
Luckily, Michael gets help from a secret friend.

This children's book, written by Anat Adler, is gently dealing with a very common situation many parents are familiar with – the struggle of a little child to control his force when playing with friends.

Written with charming rhymes and colorful illustrations, the book is aimed for a young audience, and provides both the parent and the child with a fresh perspective and a great opportunity to start a discussion about responsibility, friendship, respect and the difference between right and wrong.
