About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is seeking extra reassurance or experiencing a 'clingy' phase where they need to hear that your love is constant. This rhythmic, poetic work by Ruth Krauss uses simple metaphors from the natural world to explain the depth of a parent's devotion. It creates a soothing ritual for bedtime or moments of separation anxiety. The book focuses on the unconditional bond between a caregiver and a child, using gentle imagery like trees and the sun to ground big emotions in a way a toddler can understand. It is perfectly suited for children aged 2 to 5 who are beginning to explore their independence but still need the security of a 'home base.' Parents will appreciate the lyrical quality that makes it a calming read during stressful transitions.
