Publisher's Synopsis
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.
