Reach for this book when your child begins noticing brand names or starts asking for expensive new clothes because they saw a friend wearing them. It serves as a gentle intervention for early peer pressure and the growing 'I want' phase. The book helps children distinguish between the functional needs of clothing, such as protection and warmth, and the social desires that drive fashion trends. By exploring the actual purpose of what we wear, it encourages gratitude for what they have and builds a foundation for financial literacy. It is perfectly pitched for early elementary students who are just starting to navigate social comparisons at school, offering a calm and logical way to discuss why we don't always need every new thing we see.
