About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is facing a new beginning, like starting school or learning a new skill, and feels overwhelmed by how big the task seems. Through gentle, lyrical poetry, "Everyone Starts Small" uses examples from nature and human life, like a seed becoming a tree or a baby learning to walk, to illustrate the universal truth that every grand thing has a tiny start. It beautifully nurtures self-confidence and resilience by reframing challenges as natural processes of growth. Perfect for ages 3 to 6, this book provides quiet comfort and perspective, helping children see the power and potential in their own small beginnings.
