Reach for this book when the world feels heavy and you can tell your child is absorbing the tension from the news or adult conversations. It is an essential tool for those moments when global or community events create a cloud of anxiety in your home that is difficult to explain to a young child. The story follows a young girl who notices her parents are distracted and sad following 'bad news' on television. While the specific event is never named, the book beautifully captures the child's desire to 'fix' things through small, compassionate acts. It validates a child's observation of adult emotions while offering a gentle path toward resilience and hope. It is a perfect choice for parents who want to model that while we cannot always control the big things, we can always choose to be kind and helpful in our own small corners of the world.
