A familiar comfort in a changed form

Josie’s blanket is more than something to hold: in her imagination, it becomes a dinosaur, a canoe, or a pond. When Grandma washes and mends it, the blanket looks unfamiliar, and Josie rejects it. A short errand then turns into a moment of uncertainty, bringing the blanket’s comforting role into focus. The story connects a child’s attachment to a treasured object with the experience of change, and with finding reassurance in what is familiar even when its appearance has shifted.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 encountering changes to a favorite comfort object
  • Families looking for a picture-book story about imagination and reassurance

Book overview

Josie loves her comfort blanket.

It can be anything she wants it to be, from a dinosaur to a canoe to a pond to fish in, and she brings it with her everywhere. But when Grandma comes to stay, she notices that the blanket is looking a little dirty and threadbare, so she gives it a good wash and patches it up. When Josie sees her blanket again, it doesn't look the same at all. This shrunken and faded imposter blanket has to go, and Josie throws it away on a walk with Grandma. But the next day, Josie gets lost on a short errand, and in her panic, she isn't sure where to turn. Right when she needs it, she finds her blanket again, and it shows her the way home. Even though it might look different, it's the same old trusty blanket after all!
