  “My Dad’s New Legs” is an inspiring and reassuring story to share with young minds about unexpected change and adapting to a new way of living. After six year old Arianna’s father is in an accident and has his leg amputated below the knee, she experiences fear and uncertainty about his recovery. The vibrant illustrations in this book convey in careful detail the seriousness of his accident, his recovery journey and his triumphant assortment of new legs. I really appreciated that the story explains terms that might be unfamiliar to younger readers. After her initial uncertainty, Arianna grows to love her dad’s new legs. The story reveals that after a serious accident, with time, love and different types of support, a ‘new normality’ can be found again. The book also has a helpful glossary which younger readers may look into further if they wished to learn more. I loved the special messages of positivity and patience and highly recommend this book to everyone.
