Teo and the Magic Carnival

Reach for this book when your child is standing on the edge of a new experience but is held back by the 'what-ifs.' It is a perfect choice for the preschooler or early elementary student who tends toward caution or anxiety, offering them a whimsical roadmap for moving from hesitation to participation. The story follows Teo, a young boy who discovers a magical, shifting carnival that mirrors his internal world of imagination and worry. As Teo navigates the vibrant attractions, he learns that bravery isn't the absence of fear, but the willingness to see where the magic takes you. It is a visually lush and emotionally resonant tool for normalizing the 'butterflies' in a child's stomach while celebrating the unique way they see the world. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's sensitivity as a creative superpower rather than a hurdle to overcome.
