Reach for this book when you notice your child beginning to trade their imaginative play for more grown-up interests and you want to honor that transition with grace. It speaks to the bittersweet moment when a child outgrows their favorite toys, offering a bridge between the magic of early childhood and the new responsibilities of becoming a big brother. The story follows Charles as he leaves behind his adventures with a toy soldier, a baker, and an airplane man. Rather than a story of loss, it is one of legacy. As Charles matures, he finds hope in the idea that his beloved imaginary friends will eventually guide his new baby brother on those same magical journeys. It is a gentle, poetic choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating the emotional shift of growing up and welcoming a new sibling.
