Big City Sights

Reach for this book when your child has a big event planned and you are worried they might melt down if things do not go exactly as expected. Big City Sights follows young Ty as his highly anticipated family trip to the city encounters several frustrating obstacles: long lines, closed attractions, and missed opportunities. It is an excellent tool for children aged 5 to 8 who are still developing the emotional maturity to pivot when their expectations are not met. By modeling Ty's shift from disappointment to finding joy in the unplanned, the book validates a child's frustration while providing a roadmap for resilience. Parents will appreciate how it frames the city as a place of endless possibilities, teaching that sometimes the best memories are the ones we did not plan for.
