About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is frustrated by being ignored during adult conversations. This humorous graphic storybook perfectly captures the exasperation a child feels when their parents get lost in conversation. The story follows Molly, who, while trying to enjoy a day at a party, finds her parents are too busy talking to their friends to pay her any attention. Her feelings of being overlooked escalate in funny, imaginative ways. It's an ideal choice for validating a young child's big feelings of frustration and loneliness, while also reinforcing the security of family love. The comic-style art brilliantly visualizes how a child can feel crowded out by grown-up chatter, making it a powerful tool to spark conversation.
