Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the fear of being forgotten, left out, or feeling like they don't have a place where they belong. While it is set against a holiday backdrop, the core of the story addresses the universal anxiety of separation and the drive to find one's 'person.' It follows a brave teddy bear who falls from Santa's sleigh and must navigate a snowy world alone to find the little girl he was intended for. The story beautifully balances the vulnerability of being small in a big world with the agency of taking steps toward a goal. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary children who are developing their own sense of independence but still need the reassurance of a happy, secure ending. Through the bear's journey, parents can talk about resilience, the power of hope, and the comforting idea that there is a special place for everyone.
