A FANTASTIC way to help 4-8 year olds express their feelings!"If she/he really cares about me, he/she would know how I feel!" How many children and adults have thought or said this? But it's just not true!!!
People are not mind readers, and even if they are close to you, they won't know how you feel unless you TELL THEM!
Sapphire discovers this when she comes home from school one day very upset, because her best friend chose to play with the new girl and ignored her. Grandma Glee asks her
"Did you tell her how you feel?" Grandma asked with care,"No, of course not, she's my friend, No, Gram, I don't dare!"
Grandma Glee immediately comes to the rescue with the story of
Cousin Ozzy And The Light Charms Of Oasis. In the magical land of Oasis, nobody ever had to tell each other their feelings! They all wore charm bracelets with charms that lit up according to what they felt! Red for anger, blue for sadness and so on. What a great system right? Well it sure seemed so, until one day Cousin Ozzy's bracelet fell off and broke! The town's only bracelet fixer was sick with the flu, and- What could poor Ozzy do? He had no idea how to put his feelings into words, so nobody knew how he felt! Ever! In his despair he retreated to the solitude of his home and kept to himself. All his friends stayed away too, because they had no way of knowing how he felt!
One day, he couldn't stand it anymore. He left his home with a careful plan that changed his whole town! Through the delightful story of Cousin Ozzy And The Light Charms Of Oasis, Sapphire understands that there is no way out. If she wants her friend to know how she feels, she will have to tell her. She realizes
"That night, when I lay in bed,I planned what I would say.I would have to tell my friend,There was no other way!"
Find out how Cousin Ozzy learned that he could live happily without his Light Charm Bracelet!"I don't believe any children's book has ever dealt with this problem. Kids as well as adult often presume that their friend/loved one should realize how they feel. There is only one way to show someone that they have offended you- you've simply got to tell them! I really love this book! What next, Grandma Glee?"

"I wonder what it would be like to live in a community where everyone knew how others felt by looking at the charms on their bracelets! Absolutely fascinating! W

I LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK...WHAT AN AWESOME imagination this author has to write in a way that not only does her stories reaches inside a child to think to behave with good morals , but super talented to put in rhymes... I LOVE ALL HER BOOKS AND EACH ONE IS SUCH A DELIGHT.
Easy to read out loud and lovely story to support a classic problem of growing up. My six year old really enjoyed it and I am sure we will read the others in the series!
I think this is a very good book for kids. My daughter loved the story. She could relate to the little girl in the story because her grandmother also tells her stories. I highly recommend this book.
