Elijah is eager to fly his new kite, but a new baby and Daddy’s work plans change the family’s weekend. The story brings together two everyday parts of growing up: pitching in at home and making space for fun. Elijah’s effort to help frames the book as a father-son story about confidence and family teamwork, with kite-flying as its central thread.

  • A picture-book choice for children ages 4–8.
  • For families seeking a father-son story about helping at home and spending time together.
  • A fitting pick for a child adjusting to a new sibling or a bigger role in the family.
