About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a performance or event that feels overwhelming, or if they are grappling with 'separation anxiety lite' in busy public spaces. While the setting is the familiar and blocky world of Minecraft, the heart of the story deals with the genuine panic of a child losing track of their mother in a crowd. It models how to keep a level head and rely on friends when things go wrong. Zombie's journey from circus-obsessed excitement to a mission of responsibility offers a gentle way to discuss bravery and problem-solving. It is an ideal bridge for reluctant readers who love gaming but need a story that validates their emotional world. The humor keeps the tone light, ensuring that the theme of a missing parent remains an adventure to be solved rather than a trauma to be feared.
