About This Book
Reach for Jayden Noticed when your child feels like a fish out of water after a major life transition, or if they are a highly sensitive observer who finds the world a bit too loud and fast. This gentle story follows Jayden, a boy who finds comfort in the small details of nature, as he navigates the unsettling experience of moving to a new house where everything feels wrong. Through his passion for collecting rocks, he eventually finds the bravery to connect with a kindred spirit who sees the world just as he does. This book is a beautiful tool for validating the feelings of children who are slow to warm up or who process change through tactile or observational rituals. It celebrates the quiet power of noticing and reassures young readers that being a quiet observer is a gift that can lead to deep, meaningful friendships. It is perfectly suited for children ages 4 to 8 who are facing a move or starting a new school.
