About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels stifled by rules, social expectations, or the pressure to always be on their best behavior. It is an ideal choice for the child who feels like a square peg in a round hole, or for parents navigating the transition from strict compliance to healthy self-expression. The story follows Mr. Tiger, who lives in a stiff, Victorian-style world of top hats and tea parties, until he decides to trade his suit for his stripes and head into the wild. While the book celebrates the joy of breaking free and finding one's true identity, it also offers a nuanced look at how our personal transformations affect our relationships. It is a visually stunning exploration of the balance between individuality and community. Perfect for children ages 3 to 8, it provides a safe, humorous space to discuss what it means to be yourself while still belonging to a group.
