Reach for this book when your child is feeling a bit isolated or hesitating to join in on the playground. It speaks beautifully to the quiet desire for connection and the nervous energy that comes with putting oneself out there. The story follows Pierre, who lives alone at the base of a mountain and decides to drive over to the other side to find friends. Through its rhythmic, onomatopoeic language, the book explores how the best friendships often happen unexpectedly when we are simply on our way to somewhere else. It is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2 to 5) because it validates the feeling of being alone while providing a joyful, low-pressure model for how to be a 'helper' to new people. You will appreciate the way it turns a solo mission into a community adventure without any heavy-handed lecturing.
