What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is very gentle. The conflicts are low-stakes (e.g., sibling disagreements, shyness) and are resolved quickly and positively within each chapter.
Ideal Reader
A 7 to 9-year-old who loves funny graphic novels like the Narwhal and Jelly series but is ready for slightly more complex paneling and character interaction. It’s perfect for a child who enjoys seeing everyday family life reflected in stories, or a reluctant reader who is drawn to high-interest, visually-driven narratives. Also great for kids working on social skills like sharing and making friends.
