 Emotional Literacy Series: Exploring Hurt
An encounter with Mrs. Murgatroyd and her magical paints helps a little boy gain self-confidence and overcome the feeling of hurt.
William is sent to his room for bad behavior while his family finishes decorating the Christmas tree. His brother and sister tell him that he is clumsy and a klutz. He feels as if he cannot do anything right--that everyone is always criticizing him. In his hurt and disappointment, he decides to run away from home. Feeling cold and alone, William encounters the wise Mrs. Murgatroyd. With the help of her magical paints, he creates a computer game in which his character, Elf, must decorate a Christmas tree while the Meanies try to stop him. Through his game, William comes to terms with his hurt feelings, and realizes that he can do things right. Through this experience, he receives the gift of self-confidence.
With its rich, inviting illustrations, William's Gift helps young readers develop their own inner strength and power to meet life's challenges.
This set includes William's Gift (hard-cover picture book), a child's activity book and a parent/teacher guide. 3 books total!
