About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a high-stakes moment that feels bigger than they are, whether it is a school presentation, a recital, or a first day at a new activity. Arthur Meets the President offers a comforting and humorous look at performance anxiety through the eyes of everyone's favorite aardvark. When Arthur wins a national contest, he is whisked away to Washington D.C., only to find that his excitement is quickly eclipsed by the terrifying reality of speaking in front of the President and a live television audience. This story is ideal for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating the transition from home to the wider world. It beautifully illustrates that even 'big kids' get nervous and that it is okay to rely on family for support. Parents will appreciate how the book models resilience and the importance of helping one another, proving that sometimes the best solutions come from the most unexpected sources, like a younger sibling.
