This is a little book to help children who have anxiety about separation, when theystart playschool or nursery. Sometimes, when we feel sad or lonely, we hold ontothings which remind us of those we love and that we are loved. A much-loveditem such as a Special Toy, a Mini-Pal (Mini-Mum or Mini-Dad, Brother, Sister orGrandparent or anyone else) can be a symbol of love, and used to give comfort andreassurance. -If the child does not have a special toy, there may be small pockettoyswhich could be used with these books, or parents may prefer to make theirown.
