Maris & The Magic Purple Shirt

Sometimes being yourself is easy. Sometimes it takes a little practice.Maris loves singing, making up stories, and sharing her ideas. But sometimes she keeps going even when the people around her have had enough. When a sparkly purple shirt enters her life, Maris begins to discover that getting along with others doesn't mean changing who she is. It means learning to listen to others, notice social cues, wait, compromise-and let someone else have a turn.With school friendship challenges, a little humor, and plenty of Growing Powers along the way, Maris & The Magic Purple Shirt is a warmhearted story about building friendship skills, empathy, and self-awareness while learning to notice how our choices affect other people.Perfect for young readers who are working on social skills, friendship problems, flexible thinking, understanding social cues, and the sometimes-tricky art of getting along-while still celebrating the things that make them uniquely themselves.
