Ideal Reader
A child who is a 'thinker' or a 'planner.' It's perfect for the kid who loves maps, space, or special one-on-one time with a parent. It's also a great fit for a child who feels anxious about big changes in nature (like the sky turning dark) by framing it as a predictable, magical event.
