A parent should reach for this book when their child is navigating persistent anxiety or feels like their worries prevent them from being the person they want to be. While technically a sequel, this fantasy adventure stands alone as a powerful exploration of how creativity can both soothe and complicate a child's inner world. Kiki Kallira is a young artist who must enter her own sketchbook to save a magical version of Mysore from a devastating drought. Beyond the high stakes adventure, the story serves as a beautiful mirror for children who struggle with self-confidence. It provides a safe, metaphorical space to discuss how mental health challenges like anxiety don't make someone a failure, but are simply part of a journey toward bravery. It is ideal for readers aged 8 to 12 who enjoy mythology and complex, relatable protagonists.
