About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is asserting their independence or perhaps insisting they are a dinosaur, a superhero, or a dragon. It is the perfect tool for a child who is testing the boundaries of their identity and needs to feel that their internal logic is valid and respected. The story follows a tiny, confident mouse who simply refuses to be defined by his appearance. Despite a real tiger pointing out that the mouse is small and has a long tail, the mouse doubles down on his conviction. It is a hilarious exploration of self-confidence and creative thinking for the 3 to 6 age range. Parents will appreciate how it celebrates the power of a child's imagination without being overly preachy, providing a lighthearted way to discuss how we see ourselves versus how the world sees us.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
This book touches on identity in a purely metaphorical and secular way. It treats the concept of 'self-definition' as a playful, empowering game. There are no heavy themes, only the mild tension of a small animal standing up to larger ones.
