About This Book
Reach for this book when your child comes home with that heavy, sinking feeling of being left out or forgotten by their peer group. It is an essential tool for navigating the social anxiety that arises when a child discovers a party is happening and they are not on the guest list. Through the character of Minnie, children see their own internal turmoil validated and mirrored with gentle humor. The story follows Minnie as she processes her sadness and frustration over Charles's party invitation, only to eventually discover a simple misunderstanding. It is perfectly pitched for the preschool and early elementary years, when social hierarchies begin to form and invitations become a primary currency of friendship. Parents will appreciate how it de-escalates the drama while providing a roadmap for emotional regulation and open communication.
