About This Book
Reach for this book when your child needs a gentle anchor at the end of a busy day or during a period of separation anxiety. It is the perfect choice for creating a predictable, calming bedtime ritual that reaffirms your child's secure place in the world. Through a series of rhythmic, rhyming couplets, various animal mothers describe their love for their babies using metaphors from the natural world: the sea, the sky, and the deep forest. This book focuses on the theme of unconditional belonging and the vastness of parental love. Its poetic structure is specifically designed to slow down a child's heart rate and provide sensory comfort through soft imagery. It is an ideal 'lap book' for infants and toddlers, offering a sense of safety and permanence that helps ease the transition to sleep or daycare drop-offs.
