Reach for this book when you are feeling the daily exhaustion of parenting a child who is 'mostly wonderful' but also messy, forgetful, and stubborn. Told from the perspective of a patient mother anteater, the story explores five short chapters about her son Arthur's quirks, including his refusal to eat anything but ants and his tendency to forget his red hat. It is a gentle, humorous mirror for the 4 to 8 year old experience. Parents will find comfort in the mother's unconditional love, while children will see their own 'growing pains' validated in a way that feels safe and funny. It is an ideal choice for normalizing the frustrations of childhood without judgment.
