Reach for this book when your child is beginning to crave a sense of agency or when they seem fascinated by the world beyond your front door. It is the perfect choice for a child who feels small in a big world and wants to imagine a day where they are the ones making the decisions. Rolling Rose follows a baby who quietly rolls her stroller out the door to join a massive, joyful parade of eighty-four other babies across the countryside. The story is a whimsical exploration of independence and curiosity, capturing the magic of a secret adventure that the grown-ups never even notice. With James Stevenson's signature watercolor style and lighthearted humor, it provides a safe space for preschoolers and early elementary children to explore the feeling of 'striking out on their own' without any real danger. It is a celebratory, funny, and slightly absurdist take on growing up and finding one's own path.
