Your conscience is that small little voice that talks to the inward you. The dictionary defines it as an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one's behaviour. It's your "moral compass". That is what today's book is all about. Enjoy!

Unwrapping the book
This book's mission is intended for little ones as they enter into pre-school and kindergarten years but is suitable right up to grade 3 and beyond. These developmental years are when children begin to build their inner small voice which helps them distinguish right from wrong and how they impact others. According to the authors it is one of the most important skills that a parent can teach their child.
It teaches children about the inward discussion that is going on in side of their heads and hearts regarding their emotions, sharing, being honest to others and themselves, starting and cultivating friendships, the handling of anxiety and the ability to step out of their comfort zone, just to name a few. Their conscience is a wonderful moral compass that is located deep inside of them and they can learn how to listen to it and respond to its direction. Children discover that it will direct their path and point them to their truth.
The illustrations are vibrant, crisp and enrich the text a great deal. The book is a beautiful catalyst for families to start a discussion about conscience and the back and forth internal battle that goes on as one searches for the proper decision to make. Carving out reflective times to mull over how choices are selected is very important through every stage of life. Both children and adults will benefit from reading and discussing why their small voice is such an important part of being a human being and why it is an extraordinary gift to possess. I highly recommend this book.
