A girl must learn to think before speaking to avoid hurting her friends' feelings.
Harraf Namrattle, a candid girl from Tweeville, faces a challenge: can she learn to think before she speaks? With her mother's advice echoing in her mind, Harraf encounters friends with a new baseball mitt, a lemonade stand, and a sidewalk drawing. Each interaction tests her ability to be kind and considerate. Will Harraf's words bring joy or hurt? Join her journey in discovering the power of thoughtful speech and the importance of kindness in this heartwarming tale of growth and friendship.
Harraf Namrattle lives in Tweeville and is a girl who always says what she thinks–no matter what! She doesn’t seem to understand that sometimes words can hurt others’ feelings and that some things are better left unsaid. Today, however, Harraf’s mother reminds her to think before she speaks. Harraf sets out to play baseball with her friend Bo, who has a new baseball mitt. What will she say when she sees it? Then she meets her friend Hennaj, who has a lemonade stand. What will she say when she tries the lemonade? When she sees another friend drawing on the sidewalk, will she take her mother’s advice and be nice? Can Harraf Namrattle learn to think before she speaks and to be kind to the people in Tweeville? In this second book of the Trotters of Tweeville series, one little girl works hard to practice kindness and care when speaking to others.
