Reach for this book when your child's boundless energy and mischievous streak feel more like a challenge than a gift.

Through the lens of mythology, the story explores how curiosity and cleverness can be channeled into creativity and service. It provides a joyful way for parents to celebrate a child's quick-witted nature while gently introducing themes of accountability and the importance of using one's talents to help others. The comic-strip format makes complex mythology accessible and hilariously relatable for the modern family.
