What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a secular and metaphorical exploration of dreams and imagination. The resolution is entirely hopeful and comforting.
Ideal Reader
A highly imaginative or sensitive 5 or 6-year-old who loves fantasy but is not ready for high-stakes conflict. It is perfect for a child who has just expressed a big, seemingly impossible wish, or one who needs a comforting, positive bedtime story to encourage pleasant dreams.
Parent Prep
No preparation needed. The book can be read cold. A parent should be ready to listen to their child talk about their own dreams or imaginative ideas afterward. A parent overhears their child say, "I wish I could fly," or sees their child feeling frustrated by their physical limitations. This book is an ideal response to a child's big, beautiful, and seemingly unattainable ideas.
