About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is hesitant to leave your side or feels overwhelmed by the 'big, loud' world outside their comfort zone. It is a perfect choice for the 'homebody' child who prefers the safety of the familiar and may feel anxious about unpredictable elements like weather or new social situations. The story follows Little Hoot, an owl who prefers her cozy home to the stormy world outside. When she meets a brave mouse named Momo, she discovers that friendship provides a unique kind of courage. Through gentle rhyme and soft illustrations, the book explores how we can be braver for others than we are for ourselves. It is a reassuring tool for normalizing anxiety and celebrating the small, incremental steps of emotional growth in toddlers and preschoolers.
