About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their toddler is experiencing a phase of separation anxiety or needs a gentle boost in self-confidence through the reassurance of their place in the family. It serves as a soothing bedtime or transition ritual that anchors a child in the knowledge that they are surrounded by a wide, unwavering circle of love. The story is a simple, rhythmic exploration of all the people who care for a young boy named Hayes. From parents to grandparents and extended family, it builds a protective emotional landscape for the reader. It is especially appropriate for children ages 1 to 4, offering a predictable structure that fosters a sense of belonging and helps little ones visualize the intangible concept of a family's support system.
