About these stories
Stories for the feelings childhood is made of. A new baby on the way (The Waiting Months). The first day at a new playground and the hardest, simplest word (The First Hello). Moving house (The Empty Rooms). Being the eldest, who always goes first (The First to Do Everything). Being adopted (The Family That Chose Me). Missing a parent who is away (The Invisible String).
Around those, some quieter ones about the body and the people in it: hands, feet, faces, families of every shape, and the helpers who fix and heal and teach. This is the shelf to reach for when something is changing at home — a story that names the feeling is often the easiest way to talk about it. Ages three to six.
