Phoebe and Digger

Reach for this book when your child is feeling overlooked due to a new baby or struggling with the possessiveness that often follows a major family transition. Phoebe and Digger explores the parallel between a child's need for a steadfast object, in this case, a beloved yellow toy digger, and their need for a secure place in their mother's arms. While Phoebe navigates the physical arrival of a baby brother, she also faces a common playground crisis when a bigger child takes her toy. This story beautifully validates the feeling of being small in a big world and is perfect for children aged 3 to 7. It offers a gentle roadmap for reclaiming one's agency and finding comfort in both toys and parents during times of change.
