Nest

Reach for this book when your child is experiencing a moment of transition, such as moving to a bigger bed or starting a new school, and needs a gentle reminder of the safety and rhythm of home. It is a soothing choice for quiet time or bedtime when a child feels small in a big world. The story follows the minimalist journey of a robin's nest, from the laying of a single blue egg through the hatching and eventual flight of a young bird. Jorey Hurley uses single-word pages and elegant digital illustrations to capture the cyclical nature of life. This book is perfectly calibrated for toddlers and preschoolers, providing a comforting emotional anchor while introducing basic concepts of biology and the seasons. Parents will appreciate the calm pacing and the subtle message that while growing up involves leaving the nest, the foundation of love remains constant.
