Where's My Kitten?

A parent should reach for this book when their young child shows signs of separation anxiety, crying or worrying when a loved one is out of sight. This gentle lift-the-flap story follows a mother cat as she searches for her little kitten, Lily. She looks in all the cozy, familiar places where her other kittens are hiding, creating a comforting game of hide-and-seek. The book perfectly captures the small pang of worry when someone is missing and the immense relief and joy of being reunited. For toddlers and preschoolers aged 2 to 4, this book is an ideal tool for exploring object permanence: the idea that people and things still exist even when you can't see them. The interactive flaps engage little hands and minds, turning a potentially anxious feeling into a playful and reassuring game. It’s a wonderful choice to normalize temporary separations and reinforce the security of the parent-child bond.
