Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the mundane nature of daily errands or when you want to nurture their ability to find wonder in the ordinary. It is a beautiful tool for validating a child's internal world during those 'in-between' moments, like walking to the store or riding the bus. Through stunning watercolors, the story follows a young girl who perceives her city environment as a vast, magical wilderness. While her mother sees a stone wall and a bus, the girl sees a mountain range and a golden giraffe. It celebrates the power of the imagination to make sense of a big, busy world, making it a perfect pick for children aged 3 to 7 who are beginning to navigate urban spaces and developing their own independent perspectives. You would choose this to slow down and appreciate the creative lens through which your child views their surroundings.
