It's a milestone in their lives that can affect them in many ways. I wanted to produce a book that would help a child get over such a hurdle. The book is aimed at parents who are trying to persuade their young child to give up their dummy (also known as a binky, soother, pacifier or doe-dee), without putting unnecessary stress upon them.
