About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with feelings of displacement, particularly when a favorite adult or caregiver is entering a new stage of life like marriage or moving away. While the story is framed around a vibrant Chinese wedding, it speaks directly to the universal sting of jealousy and the fear that a loved one's new partner will leave no room for the child. It is an excellent choice for navigating family transitions and introducing cultural traditions simultaneously. Suitable for ages 4 to 8, this book provides a safe space to discuss the complicated mix of envy and affection that often accompanies big family changes. Parents will appreciate how the story validates a child's sense of loss while gently guiding them toward the realization that love can expand rather than divide. It offers a beautiful blueprint for helping a child find their own special place within a changing family circle.
