It's a brand new year, and just like us, everyone in the forest is excited for a fresh start! In the delightful children's book, "Squirrel's New Year's Resolution" by Pat Miller, we follow a curious squirrel on her quest to discover the meaning of a New Year's resolution.
Have you ever wondered what a New Year's resolution is? It's like a promise you make to yourself to do something positive, like learning a new skill or helping others.
In the story, Squirrel's friend Bear resolves to teach others how to read, while Skunk is eager to be his student. Mole and Turtle decide to plant a garden, and grumpy Porcupine wants to laugh more.
Throughout the story, Squirrel discovers that the best resolutions come from using your talents to help others. She ends up helping each of her friends with their resolutions, even before she figures out her own!
This heartwarming story teaches us that:
- Resolutions are about positive change: They're a chance to become a better version of ourselves.
- Helping others feels good: Squirrel's journey shows us that kindness and generosity make us happy.
- It's okay to ask for help: Sometimes we need a little support from our friends to achieve our goals.
Looking for some New Year's resolution inspiration?
- Learn something new: Just like Skunk learning to read, you could try drawing, playing an instrument, or even a new sport!
- Spread kindness: Offer to help with chores at home, make cards for friends, or donate toys to those in need.
- Take care of your health: Make a goal to eat more fruits and vegetables or spend more time playing outside.
Remember, the most important thing is to choose a resolution that excites you and makes you feel good!
"Actions speak louder than words." - Rabbit, Squirrel's New Year's Resolution
Just like Squirrel, you might discover that you're already fulfilling a resolution without even realizing it! So go out there, make a difference, and have a very happy New Year!
