Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not quite fit in or is struggling to navigate a social world that feels confusing. It follows Alfie the alligator who, after a bump on the head, wakes up convinced he is a human boy. As he tries to participate in human activities like playing baseball and eating at a restaurant, he is met with fear and confusion from the community. It is a humorous, absurdist exploration of identity and belonging for children aged 4 to 8. Through Alfie's misguided adventures, parents can help children talk about self-perception, the awkwardness of trying to be something you are not, and the importance of finding one's own 'swamp' where they are accepted for who they truly are.
