About This Book
Reach for this book when your child seems bored with the everyday or needs a spark to reignite their creative confidence. It is the perfect antidote to 'literal thinking' and a wonderful way to celebrate the beauty of a diverse, quirky community through a lens of pure wonder. Tippintown is a rhythmic, poetic tour through a fantastical city where every neighbor is unique and every street corner holds a surprise. Brown uses absurdist humor and vibrant, folk-art style illustrations to introduce a cast of hip, offbeat characters that prove there is no one 'right' way to be. Parents will appreciate the sophisticated vocabulary and the way the book encourages children ages 4 to 8 to view their own neighborhoods with more curiosity and less judgment. It is a joyful celebration of individuality that feels like a party on every page.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and whimsical. It does not deal with heavy trauma, though it subtly addresses 'being different' through a lens of celebration rather than struggle. Any sense of 'otherness' is presented as a cool, desirable trait.
Ideal Reader
A 6-year-old artist who loves to draw outside the lines or a child who feels a bit like an outsider in a traditional school setting. It is for the kid who notices the small, strange details in the world that adults often miss.
