Children are believed to be cruel sometimes, especially when they choose to leave out a friend while playing with others. But the thing is that children are not cruel, they are just concentrated in what most interest them at a given moment. They do not think about it too much. Our job, as parents and educators, is to point out those situations in order to enable kids to be aware of them. It is not obvious for a child to be sensitive to his surrounding while he is occupied by all that is going on around him. This beautiful, gentle and lovely story "Princess Ruby: The Friendship Wand" is all about evoking the child's awareness to the feelings of other children around him. Paying attention to those that sometimes, unintentionally, are being left out. I find this story adorable. A story very well written! I warmly recommend it.
