About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the 'scary-exciting' transition toward independence or feeling anxious about being away from you. It is a powerful tool for children who need to see that they are more capable than they feel, especially when faced with the unexpected. While the story features wild animals, the emotional core is deeply human, centering on the bond between a mother and her young. The story follows three Tasmanian Devil cubs who must leave the safety of their den when their mother doesn't return. As they navigate the Australian wilderness, they rely on their natural instincts and teamwork to survive and eventually rescue their mother from a trap. It is an excellent choice for kids aged 4 to 8 who are starting school or sleepovers, as it reframes the fear of separation as an opportunity for bravery and growth.
