Friendship gives courage, it becomes a path and a beacon. It adorns you with love, makes you a hero. The book: The kitten Coco gets upset with fireworks, gets startled by noises, and is scared of the dark. She also trembles at surprises and panics in crowds. She breaks into a cold sweat when she sees birds, her blood freezes when she hears a car. With so many fears, who would have believed that the day would come when she would stand up to Zeus, the fearsome and terrifying German Shepherd of the neighborhood! Yet it happened! Because friendship can give you wings and make you a hero when you least expect it! 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, to understand and feel things in 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.
