About This Book
Reach for this book when your child first notices a tooth beginning to wiggle or expresses anxiety about the physical changes of growing up. Llama Llama Loses a Tooth provides a comforting mirror for the universal experience of losing a primary tooth, guiding children through the initial worry of 'something being loose' to the eventual pride of a visit from the Tooth Fairy. It is a gentle, rhythmic story that validates the strange sensations of a wiggly tooth while celebrating the transition into being a big kid. As a psychologist, I appreciate how the book balances the physical reality of the milestone with the emotional support provided by Mama Llama. It is perfectly pitched for preschoolers and early elementary students, offering a predictable structure that lowers anxiety. Parents will find it an easy tool to open a low-pressure conversation about hygiene, dental health, and the exciting milestones that come with getting older.
