Nana in the City

A parent might reach for this book when their child feels anxious or overwhelmed by new, loud, or busy environments. This gentle story follows a little boy who is visiting his grandmother in the city. At first, he finds it all too much: too loud, too crowded, and too scary. His wise and loving Nana listens to his fears and knits him a special red cape to make him feel brave. With this tangible symbol of courage and his Nana's gentle guidance, the boy's perspective transforms. He begins to see the city not as a place of fear, but as a place full of wonder, music, and friendly faces. It's a perfect read for ages 3 to 6 to open conversations about fear and show how love and a little imagination can help us find our inner strength.
