Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not fit in or is struggling to find common ground with a parent. This biography follows the early lives of Siegfried and Roy, two boys from different backgrounds who used magic and a love for animals to escape difficult circumstances and build an extraordinary life. It is a story about finding your own path when the one laid out for you feels too small or uncomfortable. While it deals with real-world tensions, like Siegfried's difficult relationship with his father and Roy's desire to protect animals, the narrative is hopeful and adventurous. It is ideal for children ages 7 to 10 who are beginning to explore their own unique talents and identities. Parents will appreciate the focus on resilience, the importance of mentorship, and the idea that passion can be a bridge to a bigger world.
