**Thank you to NetGalley, author Judith Koppens, and Clavis Publishing for the eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.**
This is a cute story that is great for young children who may be starting school or daycare for the first time. I think this book shows a coping strategy for children to use if they feel like they miss their caregiver while they are at school. It also can give caregivers a strategy to use if they have a child who is showing similar symptoms as Mila.
I don't think, however, that the voices of the young characters seemed realistic. The ideas they proposed to make Mila feel better and the ways in which they spoke to her seemed too mature for preschool-/kindergarten-aged children.
I am interested to view the final copy of this story, and I think it could be a beneficial read in a pre-k welcome day.
