Being on the wrong side of the valley doesn’t matter if you have the right kind of friends.
Mountain had never seen the sun rise. Each morning, the hills around him were washed with a warm glow – sometimes pink, sometimes orange. But the sun always rose behind his rocky back. So, one morning, Bird and Bear put on an ingenious and spectacular show that allows Mountain to experience the sunrise for the very first time.
This imaginative celebration of friendship encourages creativity and kindness.

Dear Parents,
Did it happen to you that you really wanted something? what did you do? How did you deal with that desire? Who supported you?
Our rich book presents several topics and deals with them in a clever way through the plot. It first raises the issue of dealing with not getting our desires and wishes and how to cope with it, and how to deal with the frustration of our children.
It is important to give legitimacy to this feeling and to offer them the space to express it and not disregard it; Through this, the child will be able to deal with this feeling more effectively by looking for ways to overcome it. It is also important to support our children in developing the skill of patience and how to contain feelings of frustration, and to talk to them about our inability to get everything we want immediately. One of the ways that they can deal with and tolerate frustration is to use imagination, which is a partial fulfillment of our needs through envisioning, so that when the child’s desires are not fulfilled in life and in reality, they can simply imagine.
The book also presents a method for dealing with our desires and achieving them. Flexibility of thinking and developing the ability to search for other additional solutions, even if they seem difficult or almost impossible, is a great way to deal with these topics. It is important to also train our children to be flexible thinkers and to suggest alternatives, especially in real life situations.
