Reach for this book when your child is searching for a way to express a big feeling, like love or gratitude, but doesn't quite have the words or means to do so. It is an ideal choice for quiet evenings when a child feels the pressure of finding the perfect gift for a loved one, or when they are navigating the transition from the busy world of 'things' to the internal world of feelings and dreams. The story follows Celeste, a young girl who travels through a whimsical dreamscape to find the perfect gift for her mother. Along the way, she consults the stars, the moon, and the sun, only to discover that the most meaningful offerings aren't objects found in a store. It is a gentle, visually stunning exploration of the 'gift of self' that validates a child's desire to be generous while shifting the focus toward emotional connection. For children ages 3 to 7, it serves as a comforting reminder that their love is enough.
