A playful, imaginative journey told from the point of view of one well-loved yellow ball.
Telling a story from an object's point of view is perspective-taking with the difficulty turned down: there are no feelings to get wrong, so a child can practice the move itself. That move — imagining how something looks from somewhere other than where you are standing — is the same one empathy runs on later, which is why this kind of play is worth more than it looks.
A good moment to reach for it: A rainy afternoon, a long car ride, or any stretch that needs imagination more than it needs a screen.
