First published 2009
A young child wakes up to face another day filled with new experiences and unknown challenges. The world beyond home feels big and sometimes frightening. New discoveries wait around every corner, but they can feel overwhelming for small hands and hearts. As the child moves through the day, friendly animals appear who seem to understand these same feelings of uncertainty and wonder. Each encounter teaches the child something important about having a protector who never leaves. The animals show through their own gentle ways that someone caring watches over all children every moment. When scary thoughts creep in or adventures feel too big, the child learns to remember this constant presence. The day unfolds with reassurance that no child faces their journey alone.
