Peter Particular is a funny, heartwarming, and beautifully illustrated picture book about a little boy who likes everything just right. Peter is not fussy because he wants to be difficult-he simply feels most comfortable when things are arranged exactly the way he prefers. His shoes must be tied perfectly, his toys must be lined up just so, and his snacks must be arranged in the most particular way. Being particular helps Peter feel calm, safe, and in control, but it also makes everyday life a bit more challenging when things don't go according to plan.As Peter moves through his day, he discovers that the world is full of surprises-and not everything can stay exactly the same. When Peter's routines and neat arrangements begin to get in the way of fun, friendship, and little moments of joyful chaos, he is faced with a choice: hold tightly to what feels safe, or bravely try something new. With gentle encouragement, silly moments, and a few unexpected adventures, Peter begins to explore what happens when he loosens up-just a little. To his surprise, trying something new isn't scary at all. In fact, it feels exciting, freeing, and even a little bit silly.This charming picture book encourages young readers to embrace flexibility, confidence, and emotional growth. Children will relate to Peter's big feelings and familiar routines, while parents and educators will appreciate the book's supportive SEL message. With bright, engaging illustrations and warm storytelling, Peter Particular offers an uplifting lesson about courage, adaptation, and the joy that comes from stepping outside your comfort zone-one small step at a time.Perfect for ages 3-7, this delightful story is ideal for bedtime reading, classroom discussions, or simply enjoying together during quiet moments. Peter Particular is a gentle reminder that even the most particular child can find adventure, laughter, and confidence by being open to new experiences.
