The Pocket Chaotic

Reach for this book when your child is showing signs of outgrowing a beloved habit, like co-sleeping or wanting to be carried, but feels a mix of frustration and hesitation about doing things on their own. It is a perfect choice for navigating the bittersweet transition from toddlerhood to 'big kid' status. Alexander the kangaroo finds his mother's pouch to be a cluttered, chaotic mess that no longer fits his needs. While he tries to tidy up the space, he eventually realizes that the solution isn't to fix the pouch, but to step out into the world. It is a gentle, humorous look at developing independence while remaining securely loved, making it an ideal read for children ages 3 to 6 who are ready for their next big leap.
