Come Along, Daisy!

Reach for this book when your little one is starting to explore their world with more independence but still needs the reassurance of your presence. It is the perfect tool for a child who tends to wander off in the grocery store or park because they got distracted by something shiny or interesting. Daisy the duckling is just like a curious toddler, she does not mean to be disobedient, she is simply captivated by the dragonflies and lily pads around her. Through lush, impressionistic illustrations, the story follows Daisy as she accidentally drifts away from Mother Duck. The book gently explores the transition from the excitement of discovery to the sudden realization of being alone. It offers a safe, low stakes environment to discuss the importance of staying close to grown-ups while validating the child's natural sense of wonder. It is a comforting read that reinforces the idea that even if we get separated, Mama is always looking for us.
