LET’S DISCUSS THE STORIES ~ IDEAS FOR TALKING WITH KIDS
Feelings
1. In this story, Izzy does not try to change the skinny pumpkin from being sad. What do you think this might say about our feelings? And what might it say about friendship?
Self Esteem
2. Izzy and her pumpkin don’t mind if they look like what people think a Halloween pumpkin, or a Halloween costume, should look like. Do you think what other people think about you should matter? Why or why not?
