Reach for this book when your child is clinging tightly to a security object or struggling with the transition of letting go of 'baby' comforts. Jackson's blanket is his constant companion, protecting him from the world, but as the seasons change, he begins to realize his world is getting bigger. This gentle story helps children visualize the process of outgrowing a comfort item, not by losing it, but by repurposing that love toward others. Appropriate for ages 3 to 7, Jackson's Blanket offers a low-pressure way to talk about independence and empathy.
