About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating a transition where they feel unvalued or like they do not quite fit in with a certain group. It is particularly helpful for children who feel they have outgrown a role or are being overlooked by peers. Through these classic Grimm tales, Doris Orgel presents a world where animals who are considered too old or useless by their masters find a second act by joining forces. The collection centers on the power of the underdog and the beauty of found family. While some traditional folk elements involve mild peril, the overall message is one of optimism and the idea that our worth is not defined by our productivity. It is a gentle yet firm reminder for children ages 5 to 9 that when we feel cast aside, there is always a new path and a group of friends waiting to build a home with us.
