Description
Gladys the Turtle is a heartwarming story about the importance of kindness and self-acceptance. When Gladys was young, she felt free to be herself, but a hurtful comment from some new friends made her feel differently. She built a protective shell to shield herself from others' words, but it soon became too heavy to enjoy life's simple pleasures. As Gladys struggled with the weight of her shell, she began to wonder what was more important: feeling safe or being happy and free. This beautifully illustrated tale encourages young children to think critically about bullying and its effects, teaching them valuable lessons about empathy, self-care, and the power of kindness. With its gentle message and engaging story, Gladys the Turtle is a great choice for parents and educators looking for books that promote positive values and social-emotional learning.
