About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels overshadowed by louder personalities or is struggling with being perceived as different. It is an ideal choice for the child who needs to know that having a unique family or a non-traditional support system is actually a secret superpower. Patrick Edward's mother is a literal monster who lives in a cave, but her fierce love and wild nature provide him with the security he needs to face the world. The story follows Patrick as he navigates the teasing of neighborhood bullies. While his mother is unconventional, her strength empowers Patrick to find his own voice and courage. This is a masterful look at protective parental love and the development of self-confidence. It is perfectly suited for children ages 4 to 8 who are learning to navigate social hierarchies and find pride in their own unique identities.
