About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling to find their own identity within a group or feels intimidated by a change in school routine. While many stories focus on friendship, this novel specifically addresses the unique pressure of being the smallest or least confident member of a family or social circle. The story follows seven year old Tina, a triplet who has always relied on her sisters for protection. When she is separated from them in a new class and paired with a supposed bully, she must navigate her fears alone. It is a gentle, realistic exploration of self reliance and the discovery that first impressions are often wrong. Perfect for children ages 6 to 9, it provides a roadmap for developing independence and finding common ground with unlikely peers through a shared interest in nature.
