A Warm, Heartfelt Picture Book That Nurtures Consideration for Others Children often have trouble telling the difference between "showing affection" and "being a bother." To understand this difference, they need to learn to consider other people's feelings and perspectives. Even an action done out of genuine love and affection can feel unpleasant or bothersome to the person on the receiving end. This is especially true when children start group activities like preschool for the first time, where such differences in perspective often lead to conflicts with friends. In the story, Yu truly adores Hoge and wants to bring him everywhere and do everything together. But Hoge isn't happy about this. Even though he's Yu's best friend, Hoge gets upset that Yu never considers his feelings, and in his frustration, makes a mess of the whole house. When Yu sees Hoge lying disheveled on the floor, Yu feels sorry — finally understanding things from Hoge's point of view. Together with Mom, Yu gives Hoge a good, thorough cleaning. Through a scene that could easily happen in any home, this story helps children feel just how important it is to consider others' perspectives, and how much happier we all become when we're considerate of one another.
