The Native American Story Book

Reach for this book when your child expresses anxiety about growing up or when you want to explore the tension between the safety of home and the allure of independence. This classic tale follows the Darling children as they fly away to Neverland, a magical realm where children never age and adventures with pirates and fairies are a daily reality. It captures the bittersweet nature of childhood imagination while gently addressing the necessity of eventually returning to reality. While the story is a masterpiece of fantasy, it serves as a bridge for discussing complex emotions like the fear of responsibility and the importance of family bonds. For children aged 7 to 12, it provides a safe space to explore 'what if' scenarios regarding freedom. Parents should be aware that because this is a historical text, it contains outdated and stereotypical depictions of Indigenous people that require active conversation and context during reading sessions.
