About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child feels misunderstood, lonely, or like their big emotions are too much for others to handle. Using the powerful and mysterious concept of a black hole as a metaphor, this poetic book follows a personified black hole as it grapples with its immense, consuming nature. It feels isolated and different, but slowly comes to see its power not as destructive, but as a source of creativity and wonder. For children ages 4 to 8, it's a beautiful and gentle way to reframe intense feelings, turning what feels like a personal void into a universe of possibility and self-acceptance.
