Why it works
It starts with the feeling.
Children do not need a lecture when they are upset about fairness. They need a character who gets it, a silly world that makes the idea safe, and a story that lets the bigger thought land gently.
Conversation ready
After reading, ask: can something be fair without being exactly the same?
World-building
The book is the first adventure inside Not-Fair Land, a playful world for big feelings.
