About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is experiencing the intense, fluttering anticipation of a visit from a loved one or struggling with the frustration of a missed connection. It perfectly captures the impulsive energy of a child who simply cannot wait a moment longer to share a hug with their favorite person. Taro Gomi's signature minimalist style tells the story of Coco and her grandmother, who both decide to surprise one another at the exact same time. As they travel back and forth by bus, train, and taxi, they keep missing each other. The story celebrates a child's growing independence and the joyful, resilient spirit required to navigate small setbacks. It is an ideal choice for toddlers and preschoolers who are learning to manage big emotions and the concept of 'meeting halfway' both literally and figuratively.
