About
the Rosie the Hippo Series
The Rosie Adventure series are unique books,
inspired by a once-in-a-lifetime trip led by the author's father to Africa with her 14-year old son Ray, who has
special needs. Helen Hipp has created a very effective way to teach children
the value of seeing things as they appear compared to how they really are.
The Adventure series led by Rosie the pink Hippo
provide children with the opportunity to identify, understand and feel
supported by the characters handling similar fears, interests and concerns.
According to Positively Different Author Helen C.
Hipp, the second book in the series, Rosie and Friends: One-Of-A-Kindness, will
highlight TLC (Tender Loving Crocodile) as one of the lead characters who
encourages friends to show kindness, and to share their one-of-a-kindness.
It was a really fun experience to read the book aloud with my child, hopefully reading through our commentary can help you see why this book is a great one for our kids in teaching them kindness.

Child: Hornsby got friends which made him feel better. They liked

be nice to a lot of people.

yours is?
