Peedie

Reach for this book when your toddler is navigating the everyday frustration of losing a prized possession or struggling with a fuzzy memory. It provides a gentle, low-stakes environment to practice patience and problem-solving without the pressure of a real-world crisis. Peedie the gosling is charmingly forgetful, and his journey to find his lucky water bowl mirrors the relatable, often circular logic of a small child's search process. As part of the Gossie and Friends series, this story uses repetitive, rhythmic language and sparse watercolor illustrations to create a soothing reading experience. It models resilience as Peedie looks in several places before finally finding his treasure. Parents will appreciate how the book validates the 'big feelings' attached to small objects while maintaining a lighthearted, humorous tone that encourages children to keep trying even when they feel stuck.
