Reviews and awards

The soothing colors, helpful Note to Parents and Caregivers and textual pattern of separation and return should prove comforting to children and caregivers alike.
Washington Parent

In a sweet and repetitive way, this picture book reinforces that parents "always come back." The adults in this simple read aloud acknowledge their child's feelings and respond supportively. As is true for the other books in this series, the section for adults at the end of the book is excellent.
