About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts coming home with wildly creative excuses or if they are feeling a bit of anxiety about being late or getting into trouble at school. It is the perfect tool for a parent who wants to pivot from a disciplinary moment to a creative one, validating a child's imaginative power while gently addressing the importance of punctuality. Through a series of increasingly absurd obstacles, the story explores how our minds can turn a simple morning routine into a high-stakes adventure. While the plot is driven by giant ants, ninjas, and mole people, the emotional core is about the bridge between a child's internal fantasy world and the external expectations of authority figures. At its heart, it is a celebration of storytelling and the joy of a really good tall tale. It is ideal for the 6 to 9 age range, especially for kids who might be finding the transition to a structured school day a little bit daunting or dull.
