Publisher's Synopsis
This is a soft book for babies at least three months old. Mom and baby are separated for a moment. The baby feels a disconcerting loss. How can he search for her? How can he find himself? These are the most important questions in a baby's first experiences of autonomy. They also explain their interest in peekaboo games. These games speak to babies' need to accept this upsetting separation. They also help babies understand that what's lost can be found again: this is how they feel secure that they will be reunited with their mother, and can experience the separation not as an anguishing loss, but instead as a time that enables other discoveries. Looking for their mom among other moms becomes a fun game.
