What is Billy and the Brilliant Babysitter about?

Billy is certain that leaving him with a babysitter is a terrible idea. When Mum and Dad go out for the evening, he worries that they might never come back. But his new babysitter has a few brilliant ideas to help him feel safe and keep him busy. As the night unfolds, Billy discovers that being looked after can be full of surprises—and perhaps even a little fun. A warm, funny story about separation worries and finding confidence.
