Tali and the Toucan - Mira Z. Amiras
Pub. Date: Aug. 13, 2024
She read
Tali observes other children as they tumble, roll, swing in all kinds of activities She would like to join them, but she is fearful and holds back. Through a dream, a chicken who turns into a toucan visits her and shows her how to get over her fear.
Beautifully illustrated, this might work best with a child who is fearful of trying a particular sport or activity. I’m not sure all children would know what “dojo” is (an activity in which Tali wants to participate), so the adult reading the book may have to explain. Just as the little engine who could was an inspiration to try things when I was a child, Tali and the Toucan can give children a mantra to repeat (I tou-can) when fearful of doing something.
