- Reading
- Read together and pause where Saige wonders how to help. Invite your child to consider what support might look like, without assuming the story's resolution.
- Themes
- Supporting the arts: After Saige's school cuts art classes, Mimi organises a fundraiser and parade to benefit the school. The plot makes school arts and fundraising important to Saige's efforts, but the broader treatment of funding choices is unclear.
- Family support and responsibility: Saige loves spending time with Mimi at her ranch. Their time together at the ranch provides context for Saige's relationship with her grandmother; the overview does not establish how that relationship is developed in the full story.
- Horses and the parade: Saige trains Mimi's horse, Picasso, for a place in the fundraiser parade. Horse training is part of the event preparation, but the overview does not describe the training or establish how the parade goes.
- Worth knowing
- Mimi is injured in an accident, though its details and seriousness are not given. A child who is sensitive to accidents may appreciate knowing this comes up.
