Reach for this book when your child returns from school feeling like they do not quite fit in or when they express frustration about not being the fastest, the loudest, or the most talented in the group. It is a quiet, contemplative story about a young girl who feels overshadowed by her peers and her seemingly perfect older brother. Through a walking journey with her father, she begins to see that the world is more beautiful because of its irregularities and exceptions. Sonya Hartnett uses lyrical prose to tackle the heavy weight of social comparison and self-doubt. Ideal for children aged 4 to 8, this book provides a safe space to discuss the anxiety of 'being different.' It moves away from the typical 'celebrate your quirks' trope and instead offers a grounded, realistic sense of belonging through the lens of the natural world, reminding children that they are exactly who they are meant to be.
