Reach for this book when your child is bursting with energy and struggles to sit still during daily routines like getting dressed or brushing teeth. It is the perfect tool for validating a high-spirited child's need to move while showing how that movement can be integrated into the flow of a normal day. Matilda is a young girl who literally dances from the moment she wakes up until she goes to bed. Through rhythmic text and vibrant illustrations, the story celebrates joy, self-expression, and the beauty of finding your own rhythm. It is a wonderful choice for parents who want to frame their child's constant motion as a creative gift rather than a behavioral challenge. The book is ideal for preschoolers and early elementary students, offering a lighthearted way to discuss how we use our bodies to show how we feel.
