About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to express big dreams about the future or feels a bit of 'growing pains' anxiety about the world outside your home. It provides a gentle, imaginative space for children to explore the idea of independence while feeling securely rooted in their parent's love. Through a playful conversation between a Little Monster and his father, the story explores the excitement of space travel and the quiet comfort of returning home. This is an ideal choice for the 2 to 5 age range, especially for bedtime reading. It balances the high energy of a space adventure with the soothing reassurance that no matter how far a child goes (even to the moon!), their parent will be there to welcome them back. It is a wonderful tool for validating a child's ambition while reinforcing the bond of a father-son relationship.
