The Perfect Book for Shedding One's baby blanket!

Ironically, this book has been a favorite of ours for years, so finding a hard copy version of it was a thrill. My daughter, who is now in her early 40's, wore her favorite blanket around her neck like a shawl everywhere we went, so when a librarian friend told us to purchase this book in 1985 we had to find it. When we bought the book it was a soft cover and the most fascinating part was that it was written in 1981, the year my daughter was born. In addition, the author's name was Nancy Evans Cooney. My daughter's name is Nancy Evans! The book soon became a family favorite, and my daughter has cherished it forever. There is nothing better than finding a book that is a perfect fit for a young child. This was one of those times.

A young child must part with her beloved blanket.

Kindergarten starts soon and her beloved blanket, as Mom says, must go. How can she give up her friend and safety net? Mom has a plan, will it work?
