About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is experiencing the milestone of a first loose tooth or feeling a mix of excitement and nerves about an upcoming school field trip. It is a charming story about six-year-old Mimi, who navigates a day of big changes: visiting a local biscuit factory with her class and losing her tooth in a sticky bun. The book beautifully captures the small, magical details of childhood, like the wonder of a secret family recipe and the creative spark that leads friends to invent their own projects. It is an ideal choice for parents who want to normalize the 'big kid' transitions of elementary school while celebrating a child's natural curiosity and imagination. The story is gentle, grounded in realistic daily life, and perfect for ages 4 to 8.
