About This Book
Reach for this book when your child's creative chaos has reached a breaking point, specifically when the frustration of losing a beloved toy or trinket leads to tears. This story follows Vivienne, a young girl who loves her messy lifestyle until it costs her something she treasures: her favorite necklace. It serves as a gentle bridge between a child's desire for autonomy and the practical necessity of organization. Ideal for ages 4 to 8, it validates the joy of being a 'messy kid' while modeling the internal motivation needed to tidy up. Parents will appreciate how it frames cleaning not as a chore imposed by adults, but as a helpful tool for self-reliance and problem-solving. It is a perfect choice for transitioning into the 'big kid' phase of personal responsibility.
