Blankie

Reach for this book when your toddler is experiencing big feelings about a lost security object, struggling with bedtime transitions, or simply deeply attached to a favorite blanket. It provides a mirror for the intense emotional bond children form with their 'lovies' and validates the sense of security these objects provide. Leslie Patricelli uses her signature bold illustrations to follow a diaper-clad toddler through a day of play, showing how a simple blanket transforms into a cape, a tent, or a bandage. It addresses the momentary panic of a lost blankie with humor and a gentle resolution, making it a perfect tool for normalizing toddler anxieties and celebrating the imaginative power of comfort objects. This board book is ideal for ages 0 to 3, offering a joyful and reassuring shared reading experience.
