A tail to trace through the day

A curious child follows a long, colorful tail from morning to evening, with the answer to its mystery held back for a gatefold reveal. The journey is built for hands as well as eyes: children can trace the trail with a finger and explore die-cut doors and windows along the way. That interactive structure gives the book a clear shape, linking a simple question to a sequence of playful discoveries. The description also notes the involvement of Rebecca Atkinson, co-founder of Toy Like Me, an organization that starts conversations with children about disability.
