Where Is Mrs. Dee?

Reach for this book when your child is facing a transition at school, specifically the absence of a primary teacher or the introduction of a substitute. It addresses the common preschool anxiety that occurs when the predictable 'safe person' in a classroom is missing, causing the environment to feel suddenly foreign or even scary. The story follows a group of young dinosaurs who arrive at school to find a stranger in place of their beloved Mrs. Dee. Through their initial hesitation and eventual acceptance of the new teacher, the book validates a child's sense of loyalty to their regular caregiver while modeling how to be open to new experiences. It is a gentle, developmentally appropriate tool for children aged 3 to 6 to process school-based separation anxiety and the reliability of their daily routines.
