Reach for this book when your child is acting overly confident or boastful to hide their insecurities, or if you are navigating a period of sibling rivalry where one child feels 'smaller' than the other. This charming story follows Sheila Rae, a spunky mouse who prides herself on her fearlessness, until she takes a wrong turn and finds herself truly lost and afraid. In a beautiful role reversal, her quieter sister Louise steps up to lead the way home. It is an excellent choice for children ages 4 to 8 because it validates that everyone feels scared sometimes and shows that asking for help is a form of courage. Parents will appreciate how it softens the edges of a 'know-it-all' child and empowers the sibling who usually stays in the shadows.
