PSBig Kid Power series.
Direct-address text describes the protagonist's journey from crib-sleeper to "BIG KID!" It can be scary ("This bed is VERY BIG!"), but self-soothing is key ("I pull my lovey close"). Simple digital illustrations in a limited palette plus thick black lines and white outlines keep focus on the narrator. The book's petite, square shape and sturdy binding are well designed for little hands.
