Reach for this book when your child is preparing for their first group trip or struggling with social burnout during playdates. As kids transition into the middle grade years, they often crave constant peer connection but lack the tools to advocate for personal space once the novelty wears off. This story follows Willow as she hosts her three best friends at her family's island retreat, only to realize that 24/7 togetherness can be exhausting even with people you love. Willow's Spring Break Adventure provides a gentle, relatable framework for discussing social boundaries and the 'need for lead' (or the need for solitude). It is perfectly pitched for the 8 to 11 age group, normalizing the guilt-inducing feeling of wanting friends to go home so you can finally be alone. It is an ideal choice for parents who want to model healthy social maintenance and conflict resolution before a big sleepover or summer camp experience.
