Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the push and pull of sibling relationships, particularly the desire for independence and the subsequent need for comfort. It is a perfect tool for navigating those days when big personalities clash over small toys or differing creative visions. Through three interconnected short stories, fox sisters Zelda and Ivy demonstrate how to express frustration through play and how to find their way back to one another without losing face. While the title suggests a grand escape, the 'runaway' plot is handled with a gentle, humorous touch that focuses on the sisters' vivid imaginations. At 42 pages with short sentences and expressive gouache illustrations, it is tailored for early readers aged 5 to 8. Parents will appreciate how it models healthy conflict resolution, showing that a little bit of space and a shared creative project can heal almost any rift.
