About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is on the cusp of a developmental milestone but feels hesitant to leave the comfort of a security object behind. It speaks to the bittersweet transition of outgrowing a beloved item while needing a sense of agency in how that transition happens. Jenny has decided it is time for her blanket to go, but she rejects traditional ways of getting rid of it. Through her journey, the book explores themes of independence, creative problem-solving, and the pride that comes with making a big-kid decision. Appropriate for children ages 4 to 7, this story is an excellent choice for parents who want to honor their child's emotional attachment rather than dismiss it. By modeling a respectful and even celebratory goodbye, the book helps transform a potentially anxious moment into one of accomplishment. It encourages children to see that 'moving on' does not mean forgetting, but rather making space for the next chapter of their lives with confidence.
