About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts comparing themselves to their siblings or asking the heavy question, Which one of us do you love the most? It is a common developmental milestone for children to seek reassurance of their unique place within the family, especially when they notice physical or temperamental differences between themselves and their brothers or sisters. The story follows three bear cubs who begin to worry that their parents might have a favorite. They point out their own perceived flaws, like patches of fur or being the smallest, but their parents respond with beautiful, specific reasons why each cub is cherished. It is a gentle, comforting read for children aged 2 to 5 that helps dismantle sibling rivalry by replacing competition with a sense of individual belonging.
