In "Blankie" by Leslie Patricelli, a young toddler takes readers on an endearing adventure involving their beloved security blanket. The story unfolds as the child's attachment to their treasured blankie is put to the test.

From the moment they wake up, the toddler refuses to let go of their cherished blankie. It provides a sense of comfort and security, accompanying them on every activity throughout the day. From breakfast and playtime to even a trip to the potty, the blankie is always close by.
