This book will touch you and your child to the core. It's not just about getting a pet; it's about one of the most important qualities that make us human: the ability to care for others. The book also teaches patience, which can be so hard for our children. When every month feels like an eternity and the concept of "readiness" is blurry and uncertain, this book will help a child not only understand but feel the importance of making decisions at the right time. A pet should come into our lives only when we are ready for them. The incredible illustrations will help you immerse yourself in the stunning diversity of the animal world on our beautiful planet.
