About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child is buzzing with anticipation for a visit with a loved one, or to gently explore when plans go slightly, humorously wrong. In this charming story, a little bird named Coco and her grandmother are so excited to see each other that they both leave their houses at the same time to visit. As they travel along the same path, they keep comically missing one another. This simple, brightly illustrated book is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers. It beautifully captures the themes of family love and joyful anticipation, turning the frustration of waiting into a fun, silly game of near misses with a sweet, rewarding reunion.

A very brief, gentle moment of confusion when characters arrive at empty houses. It is resolved quickly.

Sensitive Topics

There are no sensitive topics. The approach is entirely secular and the resolution is happy and certain. The brief moment of concern when they find empty houses is treated as a simple plot point, not a source of deep anxiety.
