Reach for this book when your child's singular passion or quirky hobby feels like it is clashing with traditional rules or school expectations. Iggy Peck is a boy who builds with anything he can find, from dirty diapers to fruit, much to the chagrin of his second grade teacher who has a personal phobia of architecture. It is a brilliant exploration of how a child's natural talent can feel like a burden when it is not understood by authority figures. While the story is full of irreverent humor and whimsical rhyming verse, it carries a deep message about self-confidence and the importance of staying true to one's identity. For children aged 4 to 8, it models how to handle a person who says no to your dreams and demonstrates how specialized skills can eventually save the day. It is an ideal pick for parents who want to encourage creative persistence and help their children navigate the social complexities of the classroom.
