About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts to cling or show signs of worry about an upcoming evening where you will be away. It is specifically designed to address the unique anxiety that arises when a child must stay with a stranger or a new acquaintance rather than a familiar family member like a grandparent. By validating the 'pit in the stomach' feeling of the unknown, the story provides a gentle bridge from fear to comfort. In this installment of the beloved series, Llama Llama learns that his usual sitters are unavailable and someone new is coming over. The rhyming text and relatable animal characters make the transition feel manageable and safe. It is perfect for preschoolers who are beginning to understand the concept of time and are learning to trust that parents always come back. Parents will appreciate how it frames the babysitter not just as a guardian, but as a source of new fun and unexpected treats.
