Tilly In A Tangle by Margrete Lamond, illustrated by Monty Lee, is a spirited picture book about learning to trust yourself when everything feels a bit wobbly. With bright, quirky artwork and plenty of child-friendly humour, it’s a delight for families who enjoy stories about confidence, friendship and trying again.
Tilly works hard to keep her boat shipshape, carefully following everyone else’s advice so she can win their approval. But when disaster strikes, those helpful opinions aren’t much use in the moment. As Tilly and her friends scramble to set things right, she discovers that her own instincts might be the most reliable guide of all.
Perfect for ages 3+, this Australian picture book will especially suit preschoolers who like boats, problem-solving, and gentle social-emotional themes around resilience and independence.
Add it to your shelf for a warm, lively read-aloud you’ll want to revisit.
