About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking big questions about why things don't last forever or when they are struggling to stay present in the moment. It is a gentle, lyrical tool for helping children process the cycle of life through the eyes of a creature whose entire world exists within twenty four hours. By following a tiny mayfly on her one and only birthday, the story celebrates the profound beauty of a single day. It addresses themes of mortality and the passage of time with a bittersweet, uplifting touch, making it ideal for children ages 4 to 8 who are developing an awareness of the world's impermanence. Parents will appreciate how it frames 'goodbye' as a natural conclusion to a day well spent, filled with wonder and connection.
