Reach for this book when your child is struggling with a transition, a change in routine, or a sudden fear of the unknown. It is particularly effective for children who find comfort in the status quo and feel anxious when things become unpredictable. The story follows Martin, a boy who likes everything exactly as it is, until he meets his new neighbor, Mr. Flux. Mr. Flux is an artist who views change as a creative adventure rather than a threat. Through their friendship, the book explores themes of adaptability, the beauty of impermanence, and the joy of seeing the world through a different lens. It is a gentle, sophisticated tool for normalizing the discomfort of change and encouraging a mindset of curiosity. Parents will appreciate how it reframes 'flux' from something scary into something full of possibility.
