Liam likes the comfort and safety of his mother's back, but he's not a baby anymore, she says, and should join the other lemurs playing in the trees. Reluctantly, Liam learns to swing on his own, knowing he can always return to his mother's arms. This reassuring though ordinary tale, illustrated with expressive, antic watercolors, will speak to preschoolers taking their first steps toward independence.
