Meggoline: A Girl and Her Nanny/Adventures, Transitions, and Goodbyes
This heart-felt story tells of a little girl and her nanny, the fun times they have together, and their ways of coping when one of them moves away.
...
The life of a nanny/babysitter is a delicate balance of love and professionalism, attachment and relinquishment. As adults, we know and understand that love is not bound by physical location, but does the child being separated from someone who they have grown to trust and perhaps see as part of the family, understand and believe that fact? And even if we know facts with our heads, that doesn't necessarily mean our hearts still can't hurt when the separation happens. Join Meggo and Caroline as they find ways to keep in touch and prove that the bond of a caretaker and child is not easily broken.

A sweet, sweet tale of the love between a nanny and the little girl she loved like her own. Good-byes are hard for everyone but this book makes that transition a little easier. The pictures are adorable and the connection to the author's real life makes this book even sweeter. I LOVE this book!!!!!

My daughter and I loved this book about a girl and her nanny. I have done lots of babysitting, over the years and this book made me go back in time and remember all of those sweet children. If your child is going through a transition, whether it be moving, new school, or losing a loved one, this story would be a perfect tool to use, to open up dialog.

This book is pretty unique...there’s not many kids books that deal with saying goodbye. I wish my kids read it a few years back when they had to say goodbye to their caretakers, bits it’s cool they can read it now.
