It's tough to find books that deal with separation anxiety for kids. The Kissing Hand is the usual go to, so it's nice to have some other books that address the issue. This is a sweet one that gets the point across.

This is a sweet story my preschooler really enjoyed - both silly and sweet, while addressing her worries about leaving mom to go to school.
