Reach for this wordless classic when your child is feeling small, intimidated by a playground peer, or struggling to find their own voice. Through the power of visual storytelling, Martha Alexander explores how the smallest among us can possess the greatest courage when driven by love and loyalty. It is an ideal pick for children who are navigating social hierarchies for the first time and need to see that bravery is often about protecting those we care about.

As Bobo naps, he dreams of a grand reversal where he rescues his boy from a wild jungle cat. The wordless format allows for deep emotional engagement, making it perfect for children aged 3 to 7. It provides a safe space to discuss fear, the desire for strength, and the beautiful reciprocity of friendship.
