What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely positive and presents a universally relatable, secular experience.
Ideal Reader
A child aged 2 to 4 who is learning to count and enjoys stories about familiar daily routines. It is especially powerful for a Black child who will see their family life joyfully reflected, or for any child who loves to “help” in the kitchen and is curious about how food is prepared.
Parent Prep
None needed. This book can be read cold. The illustrations and text are clear, straightforward, and self-explanatory. It's a wonderful book to simply open and enjoy. A parent is looking for a counting book with more heart and story than a simple list of numbers.
