This book is about good middos. Or, more specifically, about how to
overcome bad middos. Young readers will relate to the characters as they
see them handling the same kinds of situations they themselves face
each day. Parents will appreciate the subtle, gentle messages threaded
through the stories, and savor the notes that provide extra tools for
helping their children overcome bad habits.

Chazal, and practical guidelines drawn from the Rishonim and mussar

a wonderful and engaging encounter between paintbrush and pen. The
stories in this book are about everyday life. Here, children and parents
will find new paths for navigating the journey of life — together.
