Rosy Cole's Memoir Explosion

Reach for this book when your child feels like their own life is too boring or when they are struggling with the pressure to appear extraordinary on social media or in school.

It is a lighthearted but meaningful exploration of authenticity and the realization that our real stories are valuable just as they are. This book is perfect for 8 to 12 year olds who are beginning to navigate social comparison and the desire for fame. Parents will appreciate how it uses humor to address the heavy topics of honesty, integrity, and self-acceptance without being preachy. It is an excellent tool for opening conversations about why we sometimes feel the need to exaggerate to fit in or stand out.
