About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is preparing to attend their first wedding and is feeling a mix of excitement and social anxiety about what happens during the ceremony. It serves as a gentle social story that demystifies the day, from the serious requirement of sitting still to the high energy of the reception dance floor. By using rhythmic verse and relatable scenarios, it helps children visualize the sequence of events before they arrive. The book focuses on emotional regulation and behavioral expectations without being overly prescriptive. It validates the sensory experience of a wedding, acknowledging that some parts are quiet and others are very loud. Parents will appreciate how it frames the event as a celebration of family and love, making it an ideal tool for children aged 2 to 6 who thrive on knowing the schedule of new experiences.
