Reach for this book when your child is hesitant to try new social situations or feels overwhelmed by the 'what-ifs' of making friends. It is a perfect choice for the little planner who prefers the safety of their room to the unpredictable nature of the playground. The story follows a high-strung squirrel who creates elaborate plans to find the perfect, germ-free friend, only to discover that real connection often comes from the most unexpected (and slightly messy) places. Through humor and quirky diagrams, the book helps children ages 4 to 8 externalize their anxieties. It provides a gentle way to discuss social anxiety and the bravery required to let go of total control. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's caution while celebrating the joy found in spontaneous, imperfect friendship.
