Rhinoceros Mother

Reach for this book when your child is feeling particularly small in a big world or needs reassurance about the protective strength of family. It is a perfect choice for quiet evenings when a child seeks the comfort of knowing that their 'grown-up' is always watching over them, ready to keep them safe from life's many unknowns. Through the lens of a majestic rhinoceros mother and her calf, this story illustrates the quiet power of a parent's presence. Toshi Yoshida uses stunning, detailed artwork to transport readers to the African savanna, showing how mother animals stay vigilant while their young explore. The book introduces themes of bravery, interdependence, and the natural cycle of life in a way that feels secure rather than scary. It is an ideal bridge between a science lesson and a comforting bedtime story, suitable for children ages 4 to 8 who are curious about the wild but crave emotional security.
