Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the transition of a parent going out for the night or feels a lingering anxiety when the front door closes. It speaks directly to the 'heavy' feeling of separation, transforming that weight into a soaring journey of the imagination. While the story begins with the quiet ache of missing someone, it quickly shifts into a magnificent dreamscape where a little boy travels through the night on the back of a pterosaur. This is a beautifully rendered exploration of how children process longing through play and wonder. It provides a comforting roadmap for emotional regulation, showing that while parents may be temporarily away, the bond of love remains a constant, protective presence. It is particularly valuable for its casual, joyful representation of a family with two dads, making it a stellar choice for both its emotional depth and its inclusive world-building.
