"This book is so encouraging for little ones to understand and navigate changes. Life isn’t always easy and I wish I had this book when Jordyn was going through a rough patch in middle school. Facing Fears and Problem solving, all of our babies will unfortunately have to deal with situations like these. This book helps with acceptance, how to overcome uncomfortable situations and how to deal with anxiety. Great book! I highly recommend."
