About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child is experiencing a bout of insecurity or needs reassurance of their unique place within the family and community. It serves as a gentle, rhythmic affirmation for a child named Misael, or any child seeking to feel seen and cherished. Through a series of vignettes, the story reinforces that love is constant and comes from many sources including parents, siblings, and friends. The book focuses on the emotional themes of belonging and identity. By naming the child directly, it creates a deeply personal reading experience that bolsters self-confidence and combats feelings of loneliness. It is perfectly suited for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-6) who are navigating the transition from total parental dependence to becoming their own 'big kid' person. Parents will value this book for its ability to normalize the need for affection and its role in building a secure emotional foundation.
