In this book, five children, each suffering growing pains, tell their stories of how they deal with the challenges in their lives. Readers witness various experiences, including an attempt to get revenge at a classmate who embarrassed them in front of other kids, a clumsy but wellintentioned offer of comfort to a father, a desperate attempt to stand out to gain the interest and affection of parents, etc. The author comforts readers by portraying the daily experiences of young children and the challenges they face in a simple, matter-of-fact manner.
