Aren't You Coming Too?

This delightful collection of humorous poems centers on young Amy's experience of waiting and observing. Initially, Amy feels a quiet sense of being left behind as family members depart and neighbors engage in their daily routines. The emotional arc is gentle, moving from a subtle feeling of loneliness to one of warmth and connection with the arrival of her Grandpa. The book handles these feelings with a light touch, normalizing the experience of quiet observation and the simple joy of companionship. This book is ideal for a child who might be feeling a bit left out, or simply enjoys quiet moments of observation. Parents might reach for this when their child is waiting for a loved one, or as a comforting bedtime read. Younger children (4-6) will enjoy the rhythm and rhyme, while slightly older children (7-8) might appreciate the subtle humor and relatable scenario.
