Kate's Giants

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the transition to a new home or feeling overwhelmed by nighttime fears in a big kid bed. It speaks directly to the common childhood experience of feeling small and vulnerable in a new environment where every creak and shadow feels like a lurking monster. Kate is a young girl who has just moved into a new house. At night, her imagination transforms the attic door into a portal for giants. However, through creative empowerment, Kate learns that the same imagination that builds the monsters can also shrink them or turn them into friends. It is a beautiful choice for parents who want to validate a child's anxiety while providing a practical, cognitive tool for overcoming it using art and play.
