Reach for this book when your toddler is in the midst of a 'do it myself' phase and is beginning to test the boundaries of their independence. While it is wonderful to see a child gain confidence, this transition often comes with a secret realization that the world is much bigger and less accommodating than their living room. Through the eyes of Little Monkey, children explore the balance between the thrill of exploration and the essential comfort of a parent's watchful eye. It is an ideal choice for 2 to 5 year olds who are navigating the push and pull of growing up, providing a safe space to discuss how we stay brave while knowing when to seek help. This gentle story validates their desire for autonomy while reinforcing the unconditional safety net of family love.
