Promise Is a Promise, A

Reach for this book when your child is facing a difficult goodbye or struggling to understand why something they love has changed or disappeared. It is an essential tool for navigating the 'vanishing' of things, whether that is a seasonal change, the loss of a toy, or a more profound experience of grief. The story follows Bruno, a marmot who befriends a dandelion and is eventually asked to let her go by blowing her seeds away. Bruno must trust her promise that this ending is not final. Through its gentle narrative, the book explores themes of trust, patience, and the cyclical nature of life. It provides a soft, metaphorical landing for children aged 3 to 7 who are experiencing sadness or anxiety about transitions. By framing change as a necessary part of a promise, it helps little ones find hope in the waiting periods of life, showing that endings often make room for beautiful new beginnings.
