Young Johnny received a school award, and his parents bought him a toy train he'd wanted as a reward. When Johnny saw his gift, he was very upset and ran to his room.The next day at school, while the other kids were playing with their toys, Johnny realized he should be grateful for the gift he received from his parents, and he later apologized to his parents for his rude behavior.This picture book for children narrates a meaningful story that teaches empathy and consideration. When kids (and adults, too) are overwhelmed by emotions, they often lack the words to communicate how they feel. Through Johnny, kids will relate to how their unintentional behavior impact others. The Orange Train strives to help children identify and label their feelings, letting them recognize what those feelings look and feel like in their bodies and others.
