The Tray That Tipped But Didn’t Spill

Theme: Unspoken disagreement
Symbol: Chipped lunch tray
Use Case: For children who experience micro-conflict but choose not to respond
CASEL Alignment: Self-management

This book externalizes the near-conflict - the tray tips, the apple rolls, no words are exchanged. It reflects the felt impact of friction without escalation, supporting children who absorb slights or tension quietly. Bronto under the table serves as witness rather than intervention.

Art Prompt: Draw something that bumped - but no one said sorry.
