For the 0-3 age range, it's an ideal tool for building vocabulary about body parts and encouraging a positive sense of self from the very beginning.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is universally gentle and positive. The approach is secular and focuses on the physical and emotional bond between caregiver and child.
Ideal Reader
A baby or toddler (6 months to 2.5 years) who is in the early stages of language acquisition and body awareness. It’s perfect for a parent seeking a book to incorporate into a bedtime routine or to use for interactive "lap-sit" reading sessions that involve pointing, touching, and gentle play.
Parent Prep
No preparation needed. The book is straightforward and can be read cold. Parents should be encouraged to make it interactive by pointing to their child's own body parts as they are mentioned in the text. The parent notices their toddler is starting to point to their own nose or eyes. Or, a parent is simply looking for a new, calming bedtime story that fosters connection and introduces basic vocabulary. It can also be a wonderful gift for new parents.
