Little Lessons: Big Choices

By Stan Hockey

A thoughtful, emotionally rich collection of short stories for children learning who they are on the inside.
This book explores the quiet, powerful emotions children experience every day-forgiveness, jealousy, anxiety, and bravery-through gentle, realistic stories that respect a child's inner life.
Each story follows a child through an ordinary moment that becomes meaningful: holding onto hurt, comparing themselves to others, managing overwhelming worries, or finding the courage to stand still instead of hiding. There are no villains, no lectures, and no easy fixes-only honest growth and small, human choices.
Written for children ages 6-10, this collection is ideal for: Read-aloud conversations between adults and childrenClassroom or counseling discussionsIndependent readers who enjoy reflective, character-driven storiesParents, teachers, and caregivers will appreciate the calm, non-preachy tone and the focus on emotional understanding rather than behavior alone.
These stories don't tell children what to feel.
They help children understand that what they feel already matters.
A quiet book.
A meaningful book.
A book for growing hearts.
