Description
At eight years old, a child’s world can feel both enormous and fragile—until a single, life-changing event forces her to grow up faster than she ever imagined. This moving story follows a young girl as she navigates the confusion, fear, and resilience that come with confronting something she doesn’t fully understand, while still trying to hold on to the people and routines that make her feel safe. Through her eyes, the book explores themes of childhood innocence, family bonds, trauma and recovery, and the quiet courage it takes to keep going. Written with Christy Jordan-Fenton’s accessible, emotionally honest storytelling, it offers a compassionate, age-appropriate look at how healing begins—one day at a time.
