Swan

Reach for this book when your child expresses feeling like an outsider or struggles with self-comparison in a group setting. It is a gentle tool for those quiet moments when a child feels their differences make them less than, rather than simply unique. The story follows a young swan who feels out of place among other creatures, embarking on a journey of self-discovery that mirrors the internal struggle of finding one's identity. Through soft prose and nature-based metaphors, the book explores themes of belonging and the quiet strength of inner beauty. It is perfectly paced for children aged 3 to 7, offering a safe space to discuss big feelings about worth and self-image without being overly didactic.
