Reach for this book when your child is struggling with possessiveness or the urge to 'own' things they find beautiful, whether it is a wildflower in the park or a new toy at a friend's house. This rhyming story follows Digger the Dragon as he attempts various clever traps to catch a unicorn, only to realize that some wonders of the world are best experienced through observation and friendship rather than capture. It is a gentle tool for teaching the difference between loving something and needing to control it. The story uses a fantasy setting to tackle real-world boundary setting and the concept of 'leaving no trace.' It is perfectly suited for preschoolers and early elementary students who are navigating the social-emotional milestone of letting go and practicing gratitude for experiences over possessions.
