When little Iris can't sleep without her beloved Pinkie, big sister Hazel promises to bring Pinkie back to Iris and sets about, secretly, doing just that. The bond between the sisters prompts Hazel to defy parental "rules" so her sister can feel safe with the comfort of her security blanket. The author hopes readers see the message to take care of each other, support emotional well-being, and think about how to begin letting go of things.

Book review

I bought this book and it’s so sweet! My daughter is attached to her blankie she has had all her life. She once had two and after having lost one of them and seeing how devastated she was, it made me see just how much she truly loved it! She loved it like a person or a pet. It was in that moment I knew I would never take it away from her! She is 10 and still sleeps with it and she can as long as she wants. It also reminds me of my teddy I loved as a kid and still have. I would cry myself to sleep if I couldn’t find it. I recommend this book!

Book review

I purchased this book, because my daughter is very attached to her “blankie” and although she is 10, I refuse to take it away. To her, it’s a comfort and she has had it since birth. She had two at one point and she lost one of them. It was when she lost the one, that I realized just how much they meant to her. It was then, that I realized she literally LOVED it as if it were a person or a pet. She thought blankie would be scared and miss her. It broke my heart to know how much she was hurting and if it’s something that brings her joy and comfort, doesn’t cause her harm, or anyone else, then I will let her keep it as long as she wants. This story also reminds me of my own childhood as I was very attached to my teddy bear and I remember crying myself to sleep when I couldn’t find him. It’s a sweet story and I recommend this book!
