About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a major transition, like moving to a new neighborhood, and needs to see that change can lead to unexpected magic. This story follows ten-year-old Tiger Brooks, whose anxiety about his new home evaporates when he discovers his neighbor owns a magical golden frame that acts as a portal into the world of art. Along with his brave new friend Luna, Tiger must navigate the lush but dangerous jungle of a Henri Rousseau painting. This is an excellent choice for reluctant readers or children aged 7 to 10 who enjoy fast-paced adventure. It uses the concept of 'entering a painting' to explore themes of curiosity, teamwork, and the courage it takes to step into the unknown. Parents will appreciate how the book subtly introduces art history while focusing on the grounded emotional reality of building a new friendship in a strange place.
