From the awardwinning creators of The HareShaped Hole, It Wont Be Forever helps young children cope with separation anxiety by showing how love keeps families connected, even when theyre apart. In the woods there lives a fox family. One of the cubs, Vixie, has a close relationship with her dad, Rey. He makes her feel safe and he's always there for her when she feels lonely, worried or sad. One day, Rey tells the family that he has to go away for a little while and Vixie worries. She cant bear to be apart from her dad! But Rey reassures her that hell be back before she knows it and gifts her a kingfisher feather as a reminder of love. He promises that as soon as he can, hell be back home. So Vixie is brave and carries on without her dad. And when she misses him lots, she looks at her feather and feels connected to Rey, even though hes far away. And sooner than she knows it, her daddy comes back! And Vixie knows that missing her dads not unbearable, never. For she understands truly, it wont be forever. Warm, lyrical text and expressive illustrations come together to create a sensitive and emotionally intelligent exploration of separation anxiety. Perfect for sharing at bedtime or during moments of transition It Wont Be Forever offers young readers reassurance that difficult feelings are natural, absence does not mean loss and love always brings us back together.
