About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is transitioning into independent reading but still craves the intimacy of a shared bedtime story. It is the perfect bridge for kids who are starting to realize their parents had lives and adventures before they were born, sparking a sense of wonder about family history. The story follows Estella and her father, Andrew, as he tells a highly imaginative, fractured version of Jack and the Beanstalk starring himself. It masterfully balances the silliness of a 'tall tale' with the warmth of a father-daughter bond, making it an excellent choice for building reading confidence through the approachable graphic novel format. Parents will appreciate how it celebrates creativity and the way storytelling can turn a standard routine into a magical memory.

Sensitive Topics
None. The book is secular, safe, and entirely focused on the playful relationship between parent and child. The 'peril' is metaphorical and comedic.
