Gentle lessons

Saying goodbye to the dummy

For children ready to give up a dummy or bottle. The Moon Fairy has a plan, and a small present, for very grown-up children.

How the story handles it

The child is ready to give up their dummy (pacifier) or bottle. With the companion, they give it to a magical night-time helper who needs it for a baby animal, and receive a small keepsake in return. Proud, celebratory, gentle.

What makes it theirs

Your child is the hero, by name, on every page — with their favourite animal beside them, drawn to look like them if you tell us how, and with any little details you add: a sibling, a pet, a favourite blanket. Every book is written fresh; no two are the same.
