Bella the Bowl
Bella the Bowl doesn’t want to be a soup bowl anymore – she wants to be an ice cream bowl!
What to do?! Bella and her friend, Suzy Spoon, put their heads together to make Bella’s dream come true.
From the author of The Little Book of Manifesting Big comes ‘manifesting for kids’ – a sweet tale that helps little ones believe in their dreams and gain confidence in their ability to make them come true.
Ideas woven into the story are the importance of friendship, the power of persistence, and the importance of teamwork. The book helps develop emotional intelligence, so important in today’s digital age; the emoji-like illustrations on every page depict emotional states that are easily recognizable and are supported by the text.
For children ages 3 – 7 years old. A perfect bedtime story or read-alone book for beginning readers.
