About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the intense, sometimes overwhelming feelings of a first crush or a friendship where one person's enthusiasm is overshadowing the other's comfort. It is an ideal tool for parents whose children are starting to make big, imaginative plans with friends but haven't quite mastered the concept of checking in or asking for consent first. The story follows seven-year-old Ann and her friend Michael as they navigate a camp friendship that gets strained by Ann's elaborate (and unasked-for) wedding plans. It beautifully balances humor with a serious look at how 'big feelings' can lead to friction. This age-appropriate exploration of boundaries and communication helps children understand that while their imagination is a gift, friendship requires listening to the other person's voice too.
