Reach for this book when you notice your child has lost their usual sparkle, perhaps after a setback at school or a change in their social circle.

His journey to find it is a metaphorical quest for self-confidence and the rediscovery of inner joy. While the book is nearly fifty years old, its themes of identity and resilience remain incredibly relevant for preschoolers and early elementary students. It validates the scary feeling of losing your 'mojo' while providing a comforting, hopeful roadmap for getting it back. It is a perfect choice for quiet bedtime reading when a child needs to feel that their internal state is understood and that happiness is something that can be found again.
