Where Giants Hide

Reach for this book when your child expresses the first pangs of growing up, such as feeling that they are too old for make-believe or worrying that the world is becoming a bit too plain and ordinary. It is a lyrical, poetic antidote to the literalism of middle childhood, helping kids rediscover enchantment through a different lens. The story follows a young girl who fears she has lost her connection to mythical wonders like fairies and giants. Through her journey, she realizes that magic hasn't disappeared: it has simply transformed into the breathtaking details of the natural world. It is a comforting, beautiful choice for children aged 4 to 8 who are navigating the transition from preschool whimsy to a more logical understanding of their surroundings.
