Description

Mira, Gosha, their family, and their friends face tough choices. Наталья Ремиш tells ten new stories about them. They deal with anger and harsh views that hurt others. They show how to stand up for one's tastes and wishes. What should you do when a friend steals something? Does it pay to lie? Can boys wear pink? This last question looks at unfair views based on gender.

The stories ask what to do when things go wrong. They look at the limits we set for others. May a stranger kiss a child on the cheek? They also show how not to get lost in cities and woods. Themes include family, friendship, kindness, and telling the truth. They also include love and care for how others feel. Owning up to one's acts is a theme, too.

This is the second book in the series. It is for children aged five and up and their parents. Reading it together helps families talk about hard things and build trust. Parents can ask children what they would do in each case. Each chapter ends with tips for parents from psychologists. These experts study how people think, feel, and act. Their tips help adults grasp their children's needs and choose how to respond.
