Reach for this book when a small mistake, like a spilled glass of milk or a broken rule, has led to a big emotional blowout between you and your child. It is the perfect tool for the 'reconnection' phase after a moment of discipline or frustration, especially if your child has expressed a desire to run away or hide in their room following a conflict. The story follows Louis, a little bear who decides to leave for the end of the world after his mother gets frustrated with him. However, as his mother describes the epic, imaginative lengths she would go to find him, the tension melts into a profound sense of security. It beautifully validates that while parents can get annoyed, their love is an unbreakable force that will follow a child to the ends of the earth. Ideal for children ages 3 to 7, this book provides the linguistic scaffolding to repair a relationship after a difficult afternoon.
