About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their toddler or preschooler is proudly asserting their independence, saying “I can do it myself!” for the hundredth time. It’s also perfect for preparing a child for a new sibling by celebrating their “big kid” status. Through a series of clear, engaging photographs, “Now I’m Big” contrasts the things children did as babies (being fed, crawling, wearing diapers) with the amazing things they can do now (eating with a fork, walking, using the potty). This simple before-and-after structure beautifully validates a young child's feelings of pride and growing self-confidence. It’s a joyful and reassuring read-aloud that opens the door for conversations about your own child's milestones and how much they've grown.
