A tale of how Tutti the Raccoon goes to school for the first time. He has waited for this day for so long! But why then, when it was time to say goodbye to his mom, did he suddenly cling to her and not want to let her go?
It's very difficult for preschool children to experience inner conflict. On the one hand, they want to do something, and on the other, they are scared and just can't let go of their mom!
This story will help children cope in situations where they need to say goodbye to an adult they are attached to, such as when they have to go to school or when mom or dad leave for work.
The simple words said by the mother to her baby raccoon have become a magic thread to hold on to, even at a distance. Wherever you are, wherever you go...
"I read the story to my three daughters. We have exactly the same problem with the middle one (5.5 years old) every time she needs to go to gymnastics or daycare. The older one is 11 now and I thought she was too old for this kind of story. I was so surprised when she came up to me and said in my ear, 'Mama, why don't you say that to me every time we're saying goodbye?' Anastasia, your stories are full of love and warmth, and they help mothers find the right words for their children in difficult situations!"
