Reach for this book when your toddler is experiencing a 'mystery meltdown' and you or their siblings are struggling to understand what is wrong. It is particularly helpful for those moments when a child is out of sorts after a parent leaves the house, and no amount of toys or treats seems to fix the problem. The story follows Sam and Libby as they babysit their little brother, Alvin. Despite their best efforts to cheer him up with cookies and games, Alvin remains inconsolable. The book gently explores themes of emotional communication and the specific ache of missing a primary caregiver. It is a perfect choice for children aged 3 to 6 who are learning to identify their own needs and for older siblings learning the value of patience and empathy.
