About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is seeking a sense of autonomy or when they need a quiet moment to decompress from a busy day. It is an ideal choice for the child who is constantly building forts, hiding in closets, or finding peace in the branches of a tree. This collection of poetry validates a child's natural need for privacy and the rich inner world that develops when they are alone with their thoughts. Through gentle verse and evocative illustrations, the book explores the physical and mental hideaways we all possess. It celebrates the wonder of discovery and the quiet joy of having a space that belongs only to oneself. For children ages 4 to 8, these poems provide a comforting bridge between the external world of family and school and the internal world of imagination and self-reliance.
