The book: The animals gather in the forest to elect a leader. The mouse, the cat, the dog, the wolf, the fox, and the lion are candidates. Each boasts of its talents and believes it is better than the others for this position. Just when everyone is convinced that the lion deserves to be the leader, the huge elephant appears and claims to be unbeatable, stronger than it! But what happened that made a tiny creature, just the size of your little fingernail, prove that neither the elephant nor any other animal should have a high opinion of themselves and that everyone has their own unique abilities? The series: To ensure children have a healthy social life founded on effective relationships, they must cultivate empathy, the ability to put themselves in others' shoes, understand, and feel things the same way another person experiences them. This need is addressed by the illustrated books in this series, which promote emotional intelligence. With the approach recommended for parents and educators, they attempt to initiate children into seeing the world through others' eyes, after first learning to recognize and manage their own emotions.
