Reach for this book when your child feels stuck in a rigid way of thinking or struggles to see beyond the obvious. It is an ideal tool for fostering cognitive flexibility and a sense of wonder in children who are naturally drawn to patterns, architecture, or puzzles. The story follows Mestre, an apprentice architect in a world inspired by M.C. Escher, as he navigates a palace where floors become ceilings and gravity is a matter of perspective. While technically a wordless journey, the book is a masterclass in visual storytelling that celebrates creativity and the courage to look at problems from a different angle. It is perfect for children aged 4 to 10, offering a shared experience where the parent and child must physically rotate the book to follow the path. It subtly encourages resilience and the idea that there is always another way to look at a situation, making it a beautiful choice for winding down or sparking a deep, imaginative conversation.
