Reach for this book when your child is feeling unsettled by world events, scary news, or a sense that the world feels 'different' or unsafe. Written and illustrated by first graders in the wake of the September 11th attacks, this book offers a profound look at how the world keeps turning through small, comforting routines. Instead of focusing on the tragedy itself, the young authors highlight the reliability of everyday life: teachers still teach, the sun still rises, and families still eat dinner together. It is an ideal tool for parents who want to acknowledge a difficult event while grounding their child in the safety of their own immediate environment. Best suited for children ages 5 to 9, it serves as a gentle reminder that even when big things go wrong, we are going to be all right.
