About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling discouraged by physical limitations or is struggling to adapt to a changing role within a group. It is a gentle, fable-like story that validates the frustration of getting older or losing a specific skill, while ultimately celebrating the power of wit and experience. It serves as a beautiful bridge for discussing how we can contribute to the world in new ways when our initial strengths start to fade. Old Man Tiger follows a protagonist who can no longer hunt as he once did. Instead of focusing on his decline, the story highlights his transition into a wise figure who uses his mind to outsmart challenges. It is perfect for children ages 4 to 8, especially those who may be feeling 'too small' or 'not strong enough,' as it reframes value from physical prowess to intellectual creativity and resilience.
