Reach for this book when your youngest is expressing frustration about the perceived 'power' or cool possessions of an older sibling. It is the perfect antidote to the 'me too' phase, offering a whimsical escape for toddlers who feel stuck in their playpens while the big kids have all the fun. The story follows baby Tessa, who decides that if she can't reach her sister's high-shelf toys by walking, she will simply fly to them. This book transforms sibling envy into a celebration of imagination and autonomy. While it addresses the very real emotional weight of sibling rivalry, it does so with a light, magical touch that keeps the tone joyful rather than didactic. It is ideal for children aged 3 to 6 who are navigating their place in the family hierarchy and need to feel that their own determination and creativity are powerful tools.
