Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the weight of a mistake or feeling like the family 'troublemaker.' It is an ideal choice for children who struggle with impulsivity and the subsequent shame that follows a lapse in judgment. The story follows Tangle, a tiny forest creature whose curiosity leads to a disaster that leaves his community in the dark. Banished for his blunder, Tangle embarks on a brave quest into the world of 'Giants' to find fire. It beautifully illustrates that one's value is not lost after a mistake and that redemption is possible through perseverance and courage. Parents will appreciate how it validates the heavy feeling of disappointment while providing a hopeful path forward for children ages 4 to 8.
