What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Cora June knows what she wants and doesn’t want to back down and compromise! Cora June and her classmate, Wilson, are locked in a battle of wills. Each one desperately wants to be the ultimate decider. They scream at each other about whether to play dodge-ball or soccer at recess. They get into a tug of war over a popsicle. Each wants to dictate where to go on the next class trip! Can these two opinionated, wanna-be leaders compromise or agree to anything? Using rhymes and easy to relate to situations, this story offers valuable lessons about the power of compromise and why the best leaders are never afraid to negotiate. The Great Compromise is part of the The Leader I’ll Be! book series. Learning the valuable lesson of compromising and becoming more self-aware in your actions is one of the most powerful skills we can teach our children. Learning this skill requires a lot of patience. Tips for parents, counselors and educators are included at the end of the storybook to help children in grades K through 5 become more self-aware. Help your children become future leaders with these books from the The Leader I’ll Be! book series which includes: It’s My Way or the Highway - Cora June learns to be assertive and flexible without being bossy. The “I” in Integrity - Can Cora June do the right thing…even when no one is looking? Good Things Come to Those Who Wait - In a world consumed by instant gratification, can Cora June stay calm and patient? The Great Compromise - Cora June sees that future leaders must learn to compromise and show they are willing to listen to others.
