Simplified Chinese edition of COOKIES: Bite-Size Life Lessons by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, illustrated by Jane Dyer, Amy Rosenthal utilizes the process of making cookies to share very important life values such as cooperation, patience, regret, politeness, respect, loyalty...
Each concept is defined and coupled with an appropriate illustration. For example, "Cooperate means, 'How about you add the chips while I stir?'" Similarly articulated ideas follow along as the cookies are baked, offered around, dropped, shared, and eaten, demonstrating compassion, optimism, pessimism, trustworthiness, honesty, open-mindedness, and wisdom. Including the everyday language that goes along with each idea in the text, Rosenthal effectively conveys her definition of each and provides kids with the tools they need to put these lessons to use in their day-to-day lives, when they need to draw on their own strength to face up to things, like honesty (i.e., confessing that I'm actually the one that took the cookie) and courage (i.e., it was hard to admit I took the cookie, but I did it).
