Little Book and Addie were inseparable—until she started school.
When Addie’s mom accidentally puts Little Book in a book box, he has his own unexpected first day of school, complete with anxiety, making new friends, and learning that it’s okay to not be okay.
Will Addie get Little Book back before another kid takes him home?
A reassuring, sensitively handled first step toward coping with a common emotional hurdle of childhood.
"Braziel narrates in straightforward, non-rhyming text, allowing events to unfold without distraction. Though the subject matter has the potential to be distressing, Addie and Little Book’s separation is couched within a safe framework of loving, supporting characters and Tran’s buoyant illustrations. Employing a light color palette to convey caring facial expressions and depict a small but racially diverse background cast, the uncluttered digital images evince a feeling that all will be well. This book will offer particular comfort to those affected by Separation Anxiety Disorder."
