Sometimes we should be more cautious. While we enjoy what we do, it can become dangerous if we are not careful. This is what happened to Honey, the young protagonist of Honey and the Broken Fingers, an illustrated children's book written by Cynthia K. Finlay and Celeste Taylor. One day, Honey, her brother Shaq, and their mom go to the department store. Honey pushes the shopping cart, and Shaq is inside it. When she starts pushing the shopping cart faster, Shaq asks her to go even faster. Although their mother yells at Honey to stop, the girl does not listen - until the inevitable happens. Find out at the end of the story the lesson you can learn with Honey.
How often have your children (or you at their age) undertaken something potentially dangerous and, despite being asked to stop, the warning was ignored? Honey and the Broken Fingers describes one of these situations, familiar to us because we have all done something inappropriate as children at least once. The story that Finlay and Taylor tell us is a starting point to reflect on with your children and to explain why it is sometimes better to listen to your parents than to do your own thing. I recommend Honey and the Broken Fingers to all parents who want to read a meaningful and instructive story to their kids. I also invite them to look at the beautiful pictures and answer the questions they find at the end of the book.
