Bookroo's summary

A young bear cub struggles with jealousy when others have what she desires or receive more attention. Feeling the prickly heat of envy, she learns to cope by expressing her feelings and engaging in joyful activities. Can she find a way to let go of jealousy and embrace contentment? Discover her journey to understanding and self-acceptance.

From the publisher

A bear cub describes situations that make her jealous: when someone has something she wants, when someone is good at something she wants to be good at, and when someone else gets all the attention. Jealousy is a prickly, hot, horrible feeling. I don’t like feeling jealous, but–everybody feels jealous sometimes. The little bear finds ways to make herself feel better–she talks to someone about how she feels and then does something pleasant–and soon the jealous feeling goes away.An author’s note for parents and teachers is included.
