About This Book
Reach for this book when you find yourself worrying about developmental milestones or when your child feels frustrated by what they cannot do yet. It is a gentle balm for the anxiety of comparison, providing a safe space for both parents and children to breathe. The story follows Leo, a young tiger who cannot yet read, write, draw, or eat neatly like his peers, while his father watches with growing concern. Through simple text and vibrant illustrations, the book explores themes of patience, unconditional love, and the beauty of individual timing. It is perfectly suited for children ages 3 to 7, especially those who are sensitive to being watched or evaluated. Ultimately, it serves as a reminder that blooming is not a race and that 'late' is not the same as 'never.'
