Children should be made to feel unique, precious, and distinct, no matter their birth order. Social emotional development includes the child’s experience, expression, and management of emotions. Tiana’s mom helped Tiana to develop and process her emotions to acquire a more positive view of her self. Through evocative language and beautiful illustrations, Tamara tells a story of understanding, reassurance, and empowerment.
