The book: Rudy the deer wants to ask the beautiful doe to be his mate, but he hesitates to tell her. When the woodpecker learns of this, he encourages his friend to make a decision and polishes Rudy's magnificent antlers with sycamore leaves. Rudy rushes to meet the doe, but his well-polished antlers get caught in the branches of a bush. When he finally manages to free himself, the deer feels embarrassed to look like a traveling flower shop and wants to turn back. However, he won’t do that in the end, because a turtle reveals a big secret to him. What could it be? And how did he manage to solve Rudy's problem in no time? The series: In order to ensure that children have a healthy social life based on effective relationships, they must develop empathy, which is the ability to put themselves in others' shoes, to understand and feel things in the same way another person experiences them. This need is met by the illustrated books in this series, which promote emotional intelligence. With the proposed approach for parents and educators, they aim to inspire children to see the world through others' eyes, after first learning to recognize and manage their own emotions.
