About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is feeling anxious about small changes to their daily routine or is struggling to find their footing in new social situations at school. Everyday Alice follows a young girl named Alice through a seemingly ordinary day filled with the quiet challenges of childhood: a new bus driver, a forgotten lunchbox, and the nervousness of sharing a new drawing with a friend. The story gently models resilience and self-confidence, showing how Alice navigates these minor hurdles not with grand gestures, but with thoughtful observation and quiet determination. It's a reassuring read for early elementary schoolers (ages 6-8) that validates their feelings and celebrates the courage and wonder found in everyday moments.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
There are no significant sensitive topics. The conflicts are very low-stakes, centered on common childhood anxieties. The approach is secular, gentle, and universally relatable. The resolution is consistently hopeful and reassuring.
Ideal Reader
This book is perfect for a sensitive or introverted 6 or 7-year-old who gets easily dysregulated by minor changes in their routine. It's for the child who internalizes their worries about small things, like not knowing who to sit with at lunch or having to speak to a new adult.
