A boy feels left out when he isn’t invited to a birthday party. Two siblings argue during the drive to the fall fair. A child is teased at school during recess.

Blending seriousness with silliness, these stories gently explore the real-life ups and downs of being a kid. They focus on themes including friendship dynamics, sibling conflicts, anxiety, gratitude, and bullying. As children see themselves in Tender Tales characters, they develop empathy, resilience, and a sense of humor to navigate everyday struggles. Tender Tales are inclusive stories that value all children and families 🌈.
