A parent should reach for this book when their child is grappling with the sting of perceived unfairness or the frustration of seeing a peer (or sibling) receive praise for seemingly less effort. Tallulah's Solo is a relatable and charming exploration of sibling rivalry and the realization that another person's success does not diminish your own. While Tallulah works tirelessly for perfection in ballet class, her younger brother Beckett's goofy antics earn him a coveted role in the recital. This story beautifully validates a child's sense of 'justice' while modeling how to find internal satisfaction in one's own progress. Geared toward children ages 4 to 8, it is an excellent tool for families navigating the complex emotions that arise when the spotlight isn't shared equally.
