That's My Truck!: A Good Inside Story About Hitting

Ages 4 to 8

In her highly anticipated debut picture book, That's My Truck! A Good Inside Story About Hitting, #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Becky tackles one of the most common parenting challenges head-on.

When Charlie walks into the playroom, his little sister, Pia, is playing with his truck . . . not just any truck, his favorite truck.

Charlie’s feelings completely overwhelm him, taking over his whole body, and before he knows it, he hits his sister—hard.

This engaging story not only offers parents valuable insights and strategies to address a problem behavior like hitting, but also helps children separate their behavior from identity and cope with big feelings.
