About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling anxious about the dark, transitioning to a new home, or simply needs a gentle way to wind down and feel secure in their surroundings. This collection of thirty four short, playful poems transforms everyday household objects like the toaster, the bathtub, and the nightlight into friendly companions with their own personalities and purposes. Through the lens of personification, the book fosters a deep sense of gratitude and wonder for the physical spaces we inhabit. It is an ideal choice for children ages 3 to 7, offering a rhythmic and comforting exploration of a typical day from sunrise to sunset. By casting the home as a protective, living entity, it helps turn potential fears of the unknown into a celebration of domestic comfort and safety.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
There are no traditional sensitive topics or trauma addressed here. The approach is entirely secular and metaphorical, focusing on the animistic way young children often perceive their environment.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler or kindergartner who is highly imaginative or perhaps a bit sensitive to environmental changes. It is perfect for a child who treats their toys or furniture like friends and needs reassurance that their home is a safe, watchful place.
