What if wanting wasn't something to hide?
There's No Shame in Wanting gives children permission to know what they want, the courage to ask for it, and the kindness to listen when someone else shares their wishes too.
Helps kids name their wants, big and small, from dreaming of becoming an astronaut to hoping for a tea party with a big sister.
Pairs bravery with kindness, so asking for what you want and listening to others go hand in hand.
Opens warm, meaningful conversations between grown-ups and the children they love.

“…Wanting is kind of like a dream or a wish. Your wants can be big, like wanting to be an astronaut. Or they can be small, like wanting your big sister to have a tea party with you. What matters most is being brave enough to know and ask for what you want and kind enough to listen when someone else tells you what they want, too. Because when we listen to each other's dreams and wishes, the world feels a little more magical…”
