About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing their first high stakes formal event, like a wedding, a recital, or a quiet concert, and you both feel the pressure of perfect behavior. It follows Pecorino Sasquatch, a delightfully impulsive boy, as he navigates the silent, high pressure environment of a symphony hall. While the world expects him to be still, Pecorino experiences the music with his whole body, leading to moments of both social awkwardness and pure, uninhibited joy. This story is a wonderful tool for normalizing the struggle of the wiggly child. It highlights the tension between social etiquette and natural curiosity, ultimately landing on a message of parental love and acceptance. It is ideal for children ages 4 to 8 who are learning that while manners are important, their unique way of experiencing the world is also a gift. Parents will appreciate the humor and the gentle reminder to see the world through their child's energetic eyes.
