Bookroo's summary

Embark on the adventure of being human, where every day brings new challenges. This guide encourages young readers to embrace kindness, empathy, and self-control. Mistakes are part of the journey, but love keeps us afloat. Will you choose compassion in a messy world?

From the publisher

Being a human is a lot of work! Thankfully, humans experience many of the same feelings, situations, and challenges, so we don’t have to figure it all out on our own–we can help each other navigate the ups and downs. Full of humor and heart, this engaging guide inspires kids to be humans who are kind, empathetic, and thoughtful. No matter what our day brings, we can choose to practice self-control, compassion, and forgiveness. Don’t worry, young human, it’s okay to make some mistakes along the way–just remember that it’s love that keeps us all afloat at the end of the day.
