It is a book that I am truly grateful for. Reasons why this book is our current favourite, are:
- Detailed illustrations <3
- Words are minimal yet very impactful
- The scenes take you from day to night
- It covers activities like getting dressing up, eating breakfast, etc, so you can easily talk about “routine/ schedule” to the kiddos
- Different settings from bedroom, waking up, breakfast, play, night time, woods
- Doubles up as “My first 100 words” kind of book
- Depicts women as professionals too
- Did I tell you it’s perfect for seek and find game “where’s a cat?” “Do I see moon?”
- Inclusive of people of all skin colors, hair colors
- Many animal illustrations to familiarize with
This book has been a dear friend for almost 6 months and has been helpful in a variety of ways. You can talk about a lot of things, as listed above.
We may still not been there at “feeling” grateful but N has learnt to “say” thank you.
Reading/playing with this book has definitely instilled gratitude in my daily routine. Would you consider adding it for your little one?
