I'll Meet You at the Cucumbers

Reach for this book when your child is standing on the threshold of a new experience and feels a mix of wonder and trepidation. It is a perfect choice for the quiet observer who has a rich inner world but perhaps struggles to express their unique perspective to others. Through the eyes of Adam, a country mouse visiting the city, children learn that being 'different' or sensitive is actually a creative superpower. This gentle story follows Adam and his friend Junius as they navigate the sensory-rich environment of the city. While Junius focuses on the snacks and the sights, Adam processes his surroundings through poetry. It is a beautiful exploration of identity and self-confidence for children aged 7 to 10. Parents will appreciate the way it validates the 'slow processor' or the artistic child, showing that their way of seeing the world is a gift to be shared.
