Reach for this book when your child is facing the daunting prospect of a new school or feels like they need to hide their natural enthusiasm and 'sparkle' just to fit in. It is a gentle, imaginative exploration of the anxiety that comes with being an outsider and the pressure children often feel to mask their true selves in order to be accepted by their peers. Lina is a princess from the sky whose family controls the weather. While she is magical, she desperately wants the experience of a 'regular' groundling school. Once there, she must navigate the delicate balance of making friends while keeping her powers under control. It is a perfect choice for 6 to 9 year olds who are transitioning to new environments. Through Lina's journey, parents can open a dialogue about the bravery it takes to show people who you really are, even when it feels safer to blend in.
