What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals metaphorically with feelings of inadequacy and impatience. The approach is entirely secular, and the resolution is positive and affirming. There are no sensitive topics like death, divorce, or violence.
Ideal Reader
This is perfect for a vehicle-obsessed 3 to 5 year old who is struggling to understand the concept of waiting. It's also for the child who sometimes feels too small or unimportant, and needs a story to show them that their special talents will be needed at just the right time.
