Titch and Daisy

Reach for this book when your child is facing a social milestone, like a first birthday party or a playdate, and expresses fear about being separated from a specific friend. It is an ideal choice for the preschooler who feels small in a world of big, loud crowds and relies on a 'security friend' to feel safe in new environments. The story follows Titch as he arrives at a bustling party and immediately loses sight of his best friend, Daisy. As Titch hides in various spots to cope with his overwhelming feelings, the narrative gently validates the physical and emotional experience of social anxiety. By the end, Titch discovers that Daisy was feeling just as lost without him. This gentle resolution provides comfort and opens a natural door for parents to talk about how common it is to feel shy or worried, even when everyone else seems to be having fun.
