Friendship
I love that this story shows young children not only the significance of helping others but also the weight it can bear on us if we take on too much. We must look after ourselves in order to help others in the end, and that also having good friends who are more than willing to bare the weight is what true friendships are made of.
Colin the Crab Feels Tired is a well-written picture book that teaches children the value of self-care and looking out for your friends.
Teachers and parents will love the important message this book shares, while children will be drawn to the beautiful illustrations and entertaining characters.

This is a great story to teach young readers the value of being a helper as well as working together as a community and with friends.
The plot follows Colin as he works hard to help others in his community. Everyone seeks his help, but there’s only so much Colin can do on his own. The narrative is simple for young readers to easily follow and the dialogue is well constructed and used effectively.
The illustrations by Roksolana Panchyshyn are superb and help move the story along.
