What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a pure, secular fantasy focused on the power of a child's imagination. It contains no sensitive or complex topics.
Ideal Reader
This book is ideal for an imaginative, dreamy child aged 4 to 7. It speaks directly to the kid who can spend hours lost in their own world, who builds forts in the living room, or who tells elaborate stories with their toys. It's particularly resonant for a child living in an urban environment who dreams of travel and far-off places.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The story is simple and can be read cold. A parent might want to point out the unique art style (photomontage), which combines real photos with collage, as it can be a great conversation starter about art and imagination. A parent has just seen their child staring wistfully out the window, or heard them say "I'm bored." The parent wants a book that doesn't just entertain, but validates and encourages that child's powerful inner world and creative potential.
