The One and Only Marigold

Reach for this book when your child is asserting their independence in ways that feel like stubbornness or 'difficult' behavior. It is perfect for the little one who insists on wearing a specific outfit or has a very rigid way of organizing their world. The story follows Marigold, a girl with a distinct sense of self and very particular preferences, through four short chapters that highlight her unique perspective. While Marigold might seem uncompromising, the book reveals the logic and creativity behind her choices. It celebrates the inner life of a child who refuses to blend in, making it a wonderful tool for validating a child's budding identity. Ideal for ages 4 to 8, this collection of vignettes offers a humorous and gentle way to discuss self-expression and the beauty of being exactly who you are, even when it puzzles the adults around you.
