Reach for this book when your child is witnessing increased tension at home or sensing that their parents' relationship is changing. Ten-year-old Maple uses her sketchbook to process the 'whooshing' feeling of her father's frequent departures and the growing arguments between her parents. Through her art and her connection to nature, she navigates the anxiety of an uncertain family future while seeking the stability of sibling bonds and friendships. It is a gentle, realistic look at the quiet grief children feel when a marriage begins to unravel. While the subject is heavy, the story is deeply hopeful, emphasizing that a child's world remains full of color and support even when their home life feels gray. It is perfectly suited for children ages 8 to 12 who are sensitive to family dynamics and need to know their feelings are valid.
