About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to celebrate the quiet beauty of a shared moment or encourage a child who is just beginning to find their creative voice. This introductory poem captures the specific magic of storytelling as an act of love, recalling a sunny boat trip where a world-famous tale was first born from the imaginations of three sisters and a family friend. It is less about a linear plot and more about the atmosphere of curiosity and the gentle bonds between siblings. Ideal for children ages 5 to 10, it serves as a beautiful gateway to the Alice in Wonderland universe. Parents will appreciate how it validates the 'interruptions' and eager questions of childhood as essential parts of the creative process, making it a perfect wind-down read for a cozy afternoon.

The poem is secular and entirely safe. It deals with the passage of time and the fading of 'golden' moments into memory, but it does so through a nostalgic, hopeful lens rather than a mournful one.
