About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is feeling particularly clingy, seeking extra physical reassurance, or experiencing a phase of separation anxiety. It provides a soothing, rhythmic way to affirm that your child is safe in your arms and that your bond is constant, even as they grow. The story explores the diverse ways animal mothers protect and transport their young, from the pouch of a kangaroo to the back of a swan. Each page uses vibrant, folk-art style illustrations to celebrate the physical closeness between parent and child. It is an ideal choice for bedtime or a quiet afternoon snuggle, reinforcing themes of trust, security, and the universal nature of maternal love for children aged two to five.
