Reach for this book when your child is feeling anxious about an upcoming change or feels overwhelmed by a new, 'scary' presence in their environment. It is a wonderful tool for processing the fear of the unknown through a lens of humor and perspective. The story follows a group of forest animals who are terrified by the arrival of a 'Big Blue Thing' (which the reader quickly identifies as a simple camper van). As the animals try increasingly silly ways to make it leave, the book explores themes of teamwork, perceived threats, and the realization that disruptions are often temporary. It is perfectly suited for children ages 3 to 7, offering a gentle way to discuss how our imagination can sometimes make new things seem more frightening than they actually are.
