About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling frustrated by a specific goal or when you want to cultivate a sense of mindfulness and humor regarding life's unexpected turns. It is a brilliant tool for children who tend to get so hyper-focused on 'winning' or 'finding' that they miss the joy and beauty in the process. Through a deadpan narrative about two brothers digging for treasure, the story explores themes of persistence, perspective, and the definition of success. Parents will appreciate the witty, slightly surreal ending that encourages children to look closer at their surroundings. It is a perfect choice for fostering a growth mindset while enjoying a laugh together. The book invites readers to find the 'spectacular' in the everyday, even when things do not go exactly as planned.

The book is entirely secular and metaphorical. There is a moment of falling through a void, but it is handled with whimsical physics and a soft landing, making it feel magical rather than scary.
