Simon the Jealous Snake

🐍 A playful rhyming story about jealousy, self-acceptance, and what happens when comparison gets in the way of friendship.

Simon is a handsome snake, but he doesn’t see himself that way. Slithering through the grass never seems quite enough, especially when his friends have qualities he wishes were his.

Robert the Frog, Benny the Puppy, and Carrie the Cat each give Simon something else to envy. His friends encourage him to appreciate what he has, but Simon struggles to listen. What might he miss while wishing he could be someone else?

Through Simon’s choices, this thought-provoking story invites children to explore jealousy and how it can affect the way we treat ourselves and others. It opens the door to conversations about gratitude, kindness, and appreciating differences.
