Gus is a young bee who lives all year for Wildflower Day. When Mama Bee says it's time to head home, Gus can't bear it. She doesn't rush him or argue with the feeling. She sits beside him in it, and gently helps him notice that the part he loved today is something he gets to carry with him.

For Kids
When something you love is ending, the ache is real. You get to carry the best part of it with you into the next thing.
For Parents
Transitions out of beloved moments are full-bodied grief for some children, not a small administrative ask. Naming the ache and helping them carry the feeling home works better than trying to talk them out of it.
