About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling anxious about a change in routine or is digging their heels in against trying something new. It is a gentle, humorous look at the friction between a 'homebody' and an 'explorer,' proving that while we can discover joy in the unknown, our personal preferences are still valid. Through the relatable dynamic of best friends Duck and Goose, Tad Hills explores themes of peer pressure, anxiety, and the unpredictability of new experiences. It is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers who are navigating the push and pull of independence. You will appreciate how the book validates both the excitement of discovery and the comfort of staying put, making it a great tool for normalizing the 'first-trip' jitters.
