Reach for this book when your child seems to be the one reminding you to stay on task or when you feel like your personality is the polar opposite of theirs. This story speaks to the unique friction that occurs when a child is more structured or serious than their playful parent. In this whimsical chapter book, a silly ghost mother and her rigid daughter must bridge their personality gap to protect their home from a mysterious intruder. Sally Gets Silly is an excellent choice for children aged 6 to 9 who are navigating family dynamics and learning the value of collaboration. By using the supernatural as a metaphor, the story explores themes of forgiveness and belonging in a way that feels safe and entertaining. It is a fantastic tool for normalizing the idea that family members can love each other deeply while having very different ways of moving through the world.
