Wo ist Mami? (Board book)

The animal characters make the story universally relatable and gentle. I wonder what inspired this choice and how it influences young readers' empathy.

The way the animals seek comfort and recognition felt like a metaphor for reassurance in real family bonds. Was this intentional to help kids understand feelings of separation?

The artwork adds warmth and depth to the narrative, making the search feel both exciting and comforting. I'm curious if the illustrator worked closely with the author on this.
