About This Book
Reach for this book when your child seems hesitant to join in with peers or expresses worry about not doing things the right way. It is a perfect choice for the quiet observer who marches to a different beat and needs a gentle reminder that their unique perspective is a gift rather than a flaw. Through lyrical verse, the story follows a child who discovers that while the world has a loud, collective rhythm, their own internal cadence is just as valuable. This picture book celebrates self-confidence and the joy of creative independence for children ages 3 to 7. Parents will appreciate how it validates the experience of being an individual in a world that often prizes conformity.
