About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when they notice their toddler or preschooler has developed a persistent habit of biting their fingernails or putting their fingers in their mouth. It is specifically designed to address the hygiene and health concerns associated with nail-biting in a way that feels supportive rather than punitive. The story follows a cute kitten named Little Miu who loves to nibble on her nails until she learns about the germs that hide underneath and how keeping hands clean helps her stay healthy. With gentle themes of self-care and growing up, it is perfectly aged for children 2 to 5. Parents will appreciate how it frames 'big kid' habits as a source of pride, making it an excellent tool for behavior modeling without causing anxiety.
