What Parents Should Know

Sensitive Topics

This book does not contain sensitive topics. It is a straightforward, secular narrative about skill development and personal growth. The challenges presented are low-stakes and entirely related to the main character's personal goal.

Ideal Reader

The ideal reader is a 5 to 7-year-old who is just starting a new activity (a sport, a musical instrument, even a new school year) and is experiencing the normal frustration of not being an expert right away. It's particularly good for children who tend to say "I can't do it" and need a model for a growth mindset.
