Reach for this book when your child is grappling with school-related anxiety or the heavy pressure of a looming deadline. It is a perfect choice for kids who tend to ruminate on small mistakes or wish they had a 'do-over' button for their day. The story follows Keisha, a relatable student who forgets her science homework and uses a magical, time-traveling clock from a mysterious school locker to try and fix her error. While the plot is driven by magical realism and humor, the emotional core explores the tension between self-preservation and empathy. As Keisha loops through her day, she must decide whether to use her extra time solely for her own academic success or to stop and help her friends with their own minor crises. It is an accessible, highly-illustrated chapter book that helps normalize the stress of elementary school while modeling how to balance personal responsibilities with kindness toward others.
