About This Book
Reach for this book when your child's passion for a hobby becomes a distraction that impacts their responsibilities or their ability to function as part of a team. It is an ideal choice for the imaginative child who often gets 'lost in their own head' and needs a gentle reminder that their individual talents shine brightest when they are also mindful of the group and the rules of the environment. Wave Dancer is a mermaid whose love for dancing causes her to lose focus during a school contest, leading to a situation where she gets separated from her group and needs help. This early chapter book uses a whimsical underwater setting to explore themes of accountability and the balance between creative expression and collective effort. It provides a safe, fantastical space for 6 to 9 year olds to discuss how their choices affect others and why following directions is a form of respect for their peers.
