About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is navigating the tricky transition of making new friends or learning that being 'independent' doesn't mean you have to do everything alone. While it features the high-tech droids of the Star Wars universe, at its heart, it is a story about how even the most capable individuals rely on others for support and companionship. It is an ideal bridge for the child who is obsessed with machines but needs a gentle push toward understanding social-emotional connections. Through simple text and vibrant imagery, the book explores how R2-D2, C-3PO, and other droids work together to solve problems. It addresses the feeling of being 'different' by showing that every droid has a unique purpose and that their differences are exactly what make them great teammates. This DK Level 1 Reader is perfect for 5 to 7-year-olds who are just beginning to read independently and want a story that validates their need for belonging while fueling their interest in space and technology.
