Picture Book Giveaway
We are pleased to host a giveaway of the picture book, Freddie the Fly: Seeing Through Another Lens, by Kim Delude, illustrated by Brian Martin (Boys Town Press 2023). Enter to win via the Rafflecopter below.
About the Book: Freddie assumes everyone sees, thinks, and feels the exact same way he does. That's why he doesn't get why no one likes his cool gash or why his friend didn't get in trouble for pushing him. His narrow view is becoming a problem. To help Freddie be more empathetic, sensitive, and understanding toward the opinions, attitudes and feelings of others, Nurse Mantis encourages him to use “perspective-taking lenses.” Will that switch Freddie’s outlook from ME to WE? Or will he continue to annoy his friends and family by seeing every situation from only one side – his? Seeing Through Another Lens is an entertaining addition to the Freddie the Fly storybook series which focuses on teaching young readers valuable life skills, such as active listening, staying focused, and understanding social cues.
