Jill loves playing with her friends. But sometimes she doesn’t always want to do what they want to do.
Jill’s afraid if she says “No” and doesn’t go along with her friends, they won’t like her anymore and
won’t want to play with her. So she keeps quiet and doesn’t dare speak up. How Jill gains the confidence
to say “No” and earn the respect of her friends at the same time is the heart of this encouraging story.


A sensitive story about empowering the child to overcome fears and express themselves honestly.
For children ages 4 and up.


Every child is different—they each react to things and express
themselves in many different ways. This is perfectly normal. And
actually pretty great, too. Bumps & Bubbles represents all the
emotions that are part and parcel of a child’s life—the good and the bad, the
ups and the downs. In these sensitive stories, negative emotions (bumps) are explored
and addressed in such a way that they can be turned into more positive emotions (bubbles). Is
your child scared, angry, or sad about something? How can a negative situation be handled so
it eventually becomes a more positive experience? Bumps & Bubbles offers thoughtful,
engaging stories addressing a variety of emotional experiences, all with supplemental
information and helpful tips from professional counselors and relief workers.
