About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a transition in care, such as starting a new daycare, saying goodbye to a beloved nanny, or welcoming a relative into the home to help with daily routines. It specifically addresses the complex 'mixed bag' of emotions that come when a child is excited for something new but realizes they must give up a cherished existing bond to get it. This story follows young Ana as she prepares for her grandmother to move in permanently. While she is thrilled to have Abuela near, she realizes that this means saying goodbye to her neighbor and babysitter, señora Mimí. Through their final days together, Ana learns that welcoming a new chapter doesn't mean her love for her past caregivers has to disappear. It is a gentle, comforting choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating changes in their 'village' of support.
