About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling overwhelmed by a crowded house, sharing a room, or struggling to find a sense of self within a busy family. It is a gentle, realistic bridge for kids transitioning into chapter books who need to see their desire for personal space validated. Through Lily's story, children learn that wanting privacy is a healthy need, not an act of rejection toward their loved ones. Set in a modest apartment, the story follows six-year-old Lily as she navigates the challenges of living in close quarters. It beautifully illustrates themes of resilience and creative problem-solving as she experiments with different ways to carve out a 'private' spot. Parents will appreciate how the book models respectful communication and shows that even small children can find agency and pride in creating their own boundaries.
