This book consists of seven stories. Samuel is now 8 and 9 in this series. Being older still brings challenges as it does with most kids. Just because they are older doesn’t mean they can always problem solve on their own. Samuel is still continuing to deal with some struggles, like being embarrassed, learning fairness and more , and quite possibly having to move. Again he doesn’t always deal with his feelings appropriately but it’s getting better. At the same time his parents have their own struggles when it comes time to give Samuel some independence.
