About This Book
During bathtime, Christopher and his mother share an experience in which she shrinks to a very small size and he takes care of her.
Wonderlit Review
This charming picture book explores the common childhood desire for independence and the imaginative play that can arise from it. During bathtime, Christopher's playful wish for his mother to 'go away' results in her shrinking to a tiny size, allowing him to experience a temporary role reversal as her caregiver. The story handles this imaginative scenario with gentle humor and warmth, making it a wonderful conversation starter about a child's feelings of autonomy and the enduring bond with a parent. It's particularly suited for children aged 4-7 who are navigating their own growing independence and enjoy whimsical stories.
