About This Book
Reach for this book when your child has had a particularly challenging day, whether they struggled with a tantrum, a bout of sadness, or a moment of mischief. It serves as a gentle verbal hug, reassuring them that your love is not performance-based but unconditional and constant. Through a series of sweet, rhyming verses, a mother fox describes her little one in various moods: happy, grumpy, frightened, and shy. By acknowledging that children can be 'frightened and jumpy' or 'sick and all achy,' the book validates the full spectrum of a toddler's emotional world. It is an ideal choice for the 2 to 5 age range, providing a comforting bedtime ritual that repairs any friction from the day. Parents choose this story to reinforce the foundational truth that no matter how a child acts, they are profoundly loved for exactly who they are.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and grounded in the parent-child bond. It touches on 'naughty' behavior and sadness in a very safe, metaphorical way through animal characters. The resolution is consistently hopeful and secure.
