Reviews

"The illustrations are bright, simple, and colorful. Young children will love the variety of wild animals and birds. …. provides a perfect opportunity for discussion. VERDICT This is a good option to help young and older children with separation anxiety." -- School Library Journal

"Van Genechten's story of a small child separating from her parent is a welcome relief in the age of helicopter parenting....A good choice to reassure less-assertive children that the world is safe and full of sights to explore solo—or with a friend." -- Kirkus Reviews

“A cute book about separation anxiety…” — Donna Maguire, educator

"This coming of age story is about separation anxiety. It is a splendid picture book about letting go in a loving way.” — Marilyn Panton, Story Wraps blog

“I am so buying a few copies of this book for friends with little kids! Sooo Cute! And the illustrations are so fitting! May also get a couple of copies for grown children that won’t move out…! Great book! Kudos to Guido van Genechten on a marvelous story!” — Catherine Hankins, Cleveland Public Library
