Sam and the Sticky Situation: A Book about Whining

By Al Roland and Ginger Hubbard

Sam and the Sticky Situation is a playful, vividly illustrated story that helps children understand whining and learn better ways to express what they want.

Sam has discovered that whining is a very effective way to get his way, and the more it works, the more he uses it. But when his complaining leads to a sticky, embarrassing disaster involving cotton candy and a Ferris wheel, he begins to see that whining creates bigger problems than it solves. Along the way, families also discover that children do not always whine on their own--sometimes they learn it from the adults around them.

Written by bestselling author Ginger Hubbard with Al Roland, this humorous story helps parents look beneath the behavior to the heart issues that drive whining. Part of the Teaching Children to Use Their Words Wisely series, Sam and the Sticky Situation includes a parent resource page with biblical guidance and practical ideas for helping children communicate with honesty, self-control, and respect.
