Henry, Like Always
by Jenn Bailey
Picture book · ages 3–7 · 350L

Pinkerton, Behave!
by Steven Kellogg
Picture book · ages 4–8 · 380L · 1979
Kellogg's expressive ink-and-watercolor illustrations carry a rambunctious dog story that makes the consequence of misbehavior funny rather than preachy; kids love the chaos, parents appreciate the gentle lesson.

A gentle, age-appropriate adaptation of Chapman's framework that helps preschoolers and early readers see that love looks different for different people — useful language for families navigating emotion-talk.
