Hi Friend

Reach for this book when your toddler is beginning to show interest in other children at the park or daycare but isn't quite sure how to initiate contact. It serves as a gentle social script for the very first stages of peer interaction, focusing on the simple power of a greeting. Through bright illustrations and rhythmic text, the book explores the joy of recognizing both oneself and others. It is perfectly tuned for the developmental leap where infants transition into toddlers who are aware of their social surroundings. Parents will appreciate how it models prosocial behavior without being didactic, making the concept of making a friend feel safe, accessible, and exciting for little ones aged 0 to 3.
