Reach for this book when your child's imagination feels like a world more real than the one in front of them, or when they are struggling with being told their 'impossible' ideas aren't true. It is the perfect choice for the dreamer who sees magic in the backyard and wonders why adults only see the grass. Will's Mammoth celebrates the internal conviction of a child who refuses to let facts extinguish the fire of his curiosity. The story follows young Will, whose parents gently explain that mammoths are extinct. Undeterred, Will heads into the snowy wilderness of his own imagination where he finds a majestic herd of mammoths to lead. It is a visually stunning exploration of the boundary between reality and play. Parents will appreciate how the book validates a child's inner life without needing to prove the adults wrong: it simply allows both worlds to exist at once. It is a gentle, joyful, and deeply affirming read for children ages 3 to 7.
