About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is experiencing the bittersweet mix of jealousy and excitement that comes when a sibling reaches a milestone first. While it centers on the magic of the Tooth Fairy, it is primarily a tool for addressing the 'why not me' feelings that often arise in multi-child households. Audrey Wood captures the relatable dynamic between siblings where one is eager to grow up and the other is just trying to keep up. The story follows Jessica, who is so determined to get a visit from the Tooth Fairy that she tries to trick her when her brother Matthew loses a tooth. It is a lighthearted, imaginative read for children aged 3 to 7 that validates the longing to feel special and the creative (if slightly naughty) ways children try to claim their own spotlight. Parents will appreciate how it turns a common childhood frustration into a moment of humor and familial connection.
