About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their young toddler is starting to explore independence but still needs constant reassurance that a caregiver is nearby. This is a perfect story for navigating the gentle anxieties of temporary separation. The book follows two newly hatched chicks who pop out of their shells and immediately begin a search for their mother. They toddle through the barnyard, encountering different animals and asking, “Mommy! Mommy!”. The simple, repetitive text and bold, charming illustrations make it ideal for children ages 1 to 3. It’s a wonderful choice to reinforce the security of the parent-child bond and the comforting idea that after a little searching, you will always be found.
