A Heartwarming Story for Parents and Children About Healing Jealousy, Rebuilding Self-Worth, and Learning to Love Your Own LightWhat if healing your child's heart could also heal your own?The Green-Eyed Monster Who Learned to Shine is more than a children's story-it's a mirror for anyone who has ever felt "not enough." This luminous tale invites parents and kids to journey together through the tangled emotions of envy, self-doubt, and comparison, toward a place of compassion, forgiveness, and radiant self-love.
Meet the Green-Eyed Monster-a fuzzy little creature with one big eye, two tiny horns, and a heart that aches for what others have. He follows the golden-haired princess, wishing he could be like her. But when his envy turns into sorrow, he begins a journey of healing-discovering that his one great eye sees beauty in ways no one else can, and that his "horns" are really antennas tuned to the whispers of the universe.
Through wonder, courage, and self-awareness, the Green-Eyed Monster learns that true beauty isn't found in what others possess-it's found in remembering your own light. ?
