About This Story

After losing a frill in an accident, Axel worries that he is no longer perfect and hides away. His mother’s comfort supports a story about patience, change and accepting a body that does not look as expected.

Read this story together at your child’s pace. The pictures and the character’s choices can be a starting point for noticing feelings and asking questions, rather than searching for a correct response. A child may want to talk, point to an illustration or simply listen. Leave room for their own interpretation, and return to a favourite moment if they wish. The suggested age range and themes help you choose a book; they do not set a test for how a child should understand or respond to the story.
