From New York Times bestselling relationship expert Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and his daughter, Joy Eggerichs Reed, comes the whimsical and laugh-out-loud tale of Beega, Dooga, and Tiny in the Land of Nuf. Young readers will follow these three "Gigglies" as they learn about communication skills and the importance of thinking before you speak or, for the shy child, knowing when it's time to speak up!
Created by Emerson as a bedtime story for Joy when she was a child, Joy, now a mother of three, has partnered with her father to bring her childhood memories to life.
In the Land of Nuf, all the things a child could wish for can happen. Slides replace stairs, swimming pools are filled with marshmallows, and email was outlawed in 2007. But even in a fun-filled world, conflicts can arise. Big brother Beega has a big mouth, and his careless words often hurt Tiny, his little sister. Dooga, Beega's best friend, is learning how to speak up when necessary, and after watching Tiny's feelings get hurt, Dooga helps Beega start the day over in a very creative way.
