This Is My Dollhouse

Reach for this book when your child starts comparing their belongings to their friends' toys or feels discouraged because they do not have the latest gadgets. It is a perfect choice for kids who struggle with perfectionism or feel self conscious about being different. The story follows a young girl who builds an elaborate, imaginative world out of a simple cardboard box, only to feel a pang of doubt when she sees a friend's factory made, plastic dollhouse. This book beautifully explores the tension between material wealth and creative wealth. It validates the sting of jealousy while ultimately celebrating the deep satisfaction that comes from making something with your own hands. Suitable for ages 4 to 8, it serves as a gentle reminder that the most 'real' toys are the ones powered by our own ideas.
