About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a significant change in their daily routine, such as a beloved teacher leaving or a best friend moving away. It is specifically designed for children who struggle with the permanence of goodbyes and feel a deep sense of loss when their 'safe' figures change roles or locations. The story follows Sona, a young girl in India, who discovers her favorite teacher is getting married and moving to a new city. Through Sona's journey, the book explores the tension between wanting to freeze time and learning to celebrate the happiness of others. It is a gentle, culturally rich chapter book for ages 6 to 9 that validates a child's desire to 'fix' a situation while providing the emotional tools to accept a new reality. Parents will appreciate how it models healthy communication between children and caregivers about big, scary transitions.
