By Becky Kennedy| Kirkus Reviews Verified A purpose-driven tale about grappling with big emotions; unlikely to entice kids, but potentially useful to caregivers. Charlie is all set for a day of fun, but when he notices his little sister, Pia, playing with his new fire truck, he sees red. In an attempt to get his favorite toy back, Charlie hits Pia. Mom defuses the situation by speaking gently to him about his emotions: “You’re a good kid having a hard time. And I’m here. I’m right here with you.” There’s no mention of a timeout, no yelling.
