Mole and the Baby Bird

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the pain of letting go, whether they are mourning a lost toy, saying goodbye to a friend who is moving, or learning that loving someone means respecting their independence. Through the gentle story of a mole who finds a baby bird and wants to keep it as a pet, the narrative explores the tension between our desire to hold onto what we love and the necessity of seting it free for its own well-being. This is an essential read for preschoolers and early elementary children navigating the complexities of empathy and selfless love. It provides a safe space to discuss the 'big feelings' of sadness and longing that come with graduation, moving, or even the natural transitions of growing up. Parents will find it a supportive tool for validating a child's desire to possess while gently guiding them toward the maturity of release.
