**STARRED REVIEW**
"This tender tale is a balm for worried children in troubled times
and a model of comfort for caregivers to offer them. . .More than
OK. Much more."
*Kirkus Reviews*
With empathy, the creators imagine a parent with an uncanny ability
to hear a child’s concerns, to hold the emotions that accompany
them, and to think and talk about them.
