About This Book
Reach for this book when a change in your work schedule or a busy season has disrupted your child's favorite routines, leading to frustration or feelings of neglect. It is a perfect choice for children who are struggling to adjust to a parent being less available than usual. Through a humorous lens, the story explores a young girl named Shailey who decides to 'fire' her dad and interview famous fairy tale characters for the role of bedtime reader. While the premise is funny, the emotional core is deeply relatable for families navigating work-life balance. It validates a child's right to feel upset when their time is cut short while celebrating the unique bond between parent and child. Best for children ages 4 to 8, this book provides a gentle opening to discuss why schedules change and how to find new ways to stay connected even when life gets busy.
