About This Book
Reach for this book when your middle-grade child is struggling to articulate their feelings or feels like the 'supporting character' in their own social circle. It is an ideal choice for the pre-teen who loves to journal, doodle, or use creative outlets to process daily stress. The story follows Emily, who receives a set of flashcards that prompt her to document specific, often awkward, moments of her life. Through this creative exercise, she begins to untangle the 'knots' of changing friendships, family dynamics, and the pursuit of her own unique identity. It is a gentle, humorous, and deeply relatable look at the messy transitions of growing up. Parents will appreciate how it models healthy introspection and creative problem-solving for children aged 8 to 12.
