Reach for this book when your child struggles with accountability or uses tall tales and bravado to hide their fear of failing. While it presents as a hilarious mystery, it is secretly a masterclass in understanding the 'unreliable narrator' of a child's own ego. Timmy Failure is a boy who is deeply convinced of his own greatness despite mounting evidence to the contrary, using his imaginary detective agency and polar bear partner to navigate a world that feels confusing and unfair. Behind the absurd humor and deadpan illustrations lies a poignant look at a child dealing with a single-parent household and financial instability. Parents will appreciate how the book validates the use of imagination as a coping mechanism while gently nudging the reader toward self-reflection. It is an ideal choice for kids who feel like outsiders or those who use humor to mask their sensitivities.
