About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to express a desire for more independence but feels paralyzed by the 'what-ifs' of trying something new or being alone. This graphic novel follows a young girl named Kit who gets separated from her family during a mountain hike. Rather than a terrifying ordeal, the story is a humorous, step-by-step masterclass in maintaining composure. It blends a fictional survival narrative with real-world wilderness skills, focusing heavily on self-reliance and the ability to manage fear through logic and preparation. At its heart, it is about the emotional shift from panic to problem-solving, making it an excellent choice for 7 to 10-year-olds who enjoy adventure but benefit from seeing anxiety modeled and overcome. It turns a scary scenario into an empowering learning moment.
