What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None applicable. The book is uniformly positive and gentle.
Ideal Reader
An infant (0-12 months) who is developing their sight and is neurologically wired to focus on human faces, or a toddler (1-3 years) who is beginning to recognize and name emotions in themselves and others.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. This book can be read cold. A parent can enhance the experience by making the faces shown in the book, using an enthusiastic tone, and encouraging their baby to smile or laugh along with them. The parent wants to introduce books as a positive, routine activity, especially during moments like tummy time or before a nap. They may have noticed their baby mimicking expressions and want a tool to encourage that interaction and name the feeling of happiness.
