Have You Seen My Lunch Box?

Reach for this book when the morning routine feels like a chaotic scramble and you want to transform prep-time stress into a cooperative game. Getting ready for school requires significant executive function skills that young children are still developing. This story validates the feeling of being slightly overwhelmed by a checklist while offering a playful, low-stakes way to practice focus and organization through a seek-and-find format. Through the lens of a child searching for essential items, the book celebrates the small victories of independence and the satisfaction of being prepared. It is perfectly calibrated for toddlers and preschoolers who are beginning to take ownership of their own belongings and daily schedules. By turning the hunt for a lunch box or a stray sock into a counting exercise, Steve Light helps children build confidence and resilience during what can often be a high-pressure transition for families.
