Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the physical manifestations of anxiety or feels a desperate need to hide their true self to avoid being judged. Kit is a twelve-year-old girl who literally turns into a tiny, hairless naked mole rat whenever she feels overwhelmed or exposed. This magical realism element serves as a profound metaphor for the awkwardness of puberty and the vulnerability of social anxiety. Through Kit's journey to support her injured best friend while managing her own strange transformations, the story explores themes of shame, loyalty, and self-acceptance. It is a gentle and humorous read for ages 8 to 12 that validates the 'exposed' feeling many pre-teens face, offering a path toward realizing that our perceived flaws might actually be our superpowers.
