About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is approaching a milestone like preschool or kindergarten graduation and feels a mix of nervous energy and pride. It is a gentle tool for validating the excitement of a big day while providing a familiar, comforting presence through Biscuit the puppy. The story follows Biscuit as he attends a graduation ceremony, highlighting the joy of the event and the inclusive nature of celebrating achievements together. As a psychologist, I recommend this for children aged 3 to 6 who may be overwhelmed by the fuss of ceremonies. The book emphasizes that while the day is special, the core bonds of friendship and love remain the same. It is an ideal choice for reinforcing a sense of accomplishment and helping a child visualize what a graduation day looks like in a low-stakes, joyful way.
