This was such a beautiful children’s book, full of heart and so much warmth. 💛
I loved the way it explored found family and those big, complicated feelings that can come with a parent finding love with someone new. It also touches on disappointment and the little things that can feel so huge when you’re experiencing them through a child’s eyes.
As a parent, I found myself reflecting on all the little things I sometimes stress about, and how from a child’s perspective, they can feel so much bigger than they really are. It was such a thoughtful reminder to take a breath, put things into perspective and remember that, after all, it all comes out in the wash. 🥹
A really sweet story with so much heart. I absolutely loved it. ✨
