Green-Eyed Goose: A Boone Story about Overcoming Envy and Jealousy

Paperback (Boys Town Press Aug. 15, 2018)

Boone can help teach your kids how to be grateful for what they have and how to work for what they want.

Boone is a cute gosling, but right now he is really bothered! Why is his brother Finn the first to fly? And why can Otter flip but Boone can't? It just doesn't seem fair!

Boone doesn't realize that everyone is different with different abilities. Fortunately, Boone is surrounded by friends who help him understand it's natural to look at what others have and wonder what it would be like to be like them. But it's more important for Boone to recognize his own strength and talents.

Boone soon learns that instead of begrudging what others have or earned, he should be grateful for what he has, and work hard to earn what more he wants.

A great book to help children overcome feelings of jealousy and envy, and to remember the importance of gratitude and hard work.

Tips for parents, teachers and educators are included.
