Reach for this book when your child expresses feeling left out, lonely, or unsure of how to initiate a friendship. It is an ideal choice for the quiet dreamer who waits for the world to come to them and needs a gentle nudge to see that they have the power to bridge the gap between themselves and others. Caspian lives in a solitary lighthouse, surrounded by a vast sea, wishing for a friend who never appears. The story shifts beautifully when Caspian realizes that wishing is passive, and he takes the first imaginative step to reach out. This book is a masterclass in social-emotional empowerment for children aged 4 to 7, using a metaphorical setting to teach a very real-world skill: the courage to say hello first. Parents will appreciate how it validates the ache of loneliness while offering a hopeful, proactive path forward through the lens of a whimsical, bear-filled adventure.
