About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is transitioning from being the one cared for to being the one who wants to lead and share knowledge with others. It is perfect for preparing for a visit to a grandparent or a museum trip where you want to foster a sense of autonomy and pride in your child's developing interests. The story follows a young girl who takes charge of a day out with her grandmother at the American Museum of Natural History. As they navigate exhibits from dinosaurs to blue whales, the book beautifully explores themes of intergenerational bonding and the joy of teaching someone else. It is an ideal choice for elementary-aged children who are eager to showcase their expertise and independence while remaining anchored in a loving, supportive family relationship.
