Like crabs in a bucket
Fishermen know that when crabs get thrown into a bucket, they don't need to secure their catch with a lid. This is because crabs have a natural tendency to pull each other down.
I created this children's book to teach children about how to deal with emotions like jealousy and imposter syndrome.

I drew all of the pictures and wrote all of the words!
