I'll Never Let You Go

A parent would reach for this book when their child is facing a new step toward independence, big or small, and needs reassurance that parental love is a constant. Through gentle, lyrical text and warm illustrations, the book uses nature metaphors (an acorn becoming an oak, a caterpillar a butterfly) to explain how a parent's love doesn't disappear as a child grows. It beautifully articulates the bittersweet feeling of watching a child become their own person. For ages 3 to 7, this book is less about solving a specific problem like school anxiety and more about providing a foundational sense of security. It's a perfect choice for creating a quiet, comforting moment to reinforce the unbreakable bond you share.
