The Jealous JellyBean

(Benji the Beagle's Big Feelings)

When Benji rescues Jellybean, a little puppy from an animal testing laboratory, he knows his new friend has been through a lot. Now Jellybean is finally safe, warm, and loved — but his heart still feels heavy.

Jellybean feels like he does not belong, and he struggles to adapt to life outside the laboratory.
Jellybean begins to feel something grow inside him, and he is scared that he will lose his best friend. One day, Jellybean lets out his feelings growing inside with a huge bark.

Jellybean is struggling with the difficult emotion called jealousy, and he must overcome his fear of losing Benji so that he can help the other animals left behind.

The Jealous Jellybean is a warm and thoughtful story that helps children understand jealousy, gratitude, and the power of kindness.
