About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child is first navigating the social world of preschool or playgroups and beginning to notice how different everyone is. "Kids" is a gentle, rhyming ode to the wonderful variety of children in the world: quiet ones, noisy ones, fast ones, slow ones, those who are happy, and those who feel sad. Through warm, detailed watercolor illustrations, it normalizes the full spectrum of childhood traits and emotions. For ages 2 to 6, this book is a perfect tool for opening conversations about empathy, celebrating individuality, and reassuring a child that they are loved exactly as they are.
