About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like their unique hobbies or interests make them an outsider. It is a perfect choice for the little maker who would rather build a gadget than play a traditional game, or for the child who is currently struggling with the quiet ache of loneliness. Eliza is a royal who breaks the mold: instead of tea parties, she is busy with wood, string, and glue. When she stumbles upon Santa's workshop in a moment of crisis, her technical skills become the very thing that saves Christmas and earns her the friends she has been longing for. It is a heartwarming celebration of being yourself and finding your tribe. Parents will appreciate how it reframes a solitary child as a creative problem solver rather than a social failure. The story is gentle and seasonally magical, making it an ideal bedtime read during the holidays for children ages 3 to 7.
