Reach for this book when your child seems hesitant to show off a new skill or is clingy during transitions toward independence. It is perfect for children who worry that becoming a 'big kid' means losing the special, cozy rituals they share with you. The story follows Yoko, a young kitten who secretly learns to read at school but pretends she cannot because she fears her mother will stop their nightly bedtime stories. This gentle tale addresses the common childhood anxiety that competence leads to emotional distance. It is ideal for children ages 3 to 6 who are entering preschool or kindergarten. Rosemary Wells uses her signature warmth to reassure children that while they are growing up and gaining new abilities, the bond of love and the security of shared time with a parent will remain unchanged. It provides a beautiful opening to discuss honesty and the joy of shared learning.
