Communication

Reach for this book when your child is struggling to express their needs, misinterpreting social cues, or feeling isolated in their own thoughts. Aliki's classic guide offers a gentle but comprehensive roadmap to the ways humans connect, covering everything from spoken words and letters to the subtle art of body language and listening. It is an essential tool for building emotional intelligence and social confidence. Through a mix of comic-style vignettes and informative text, the book validates the frustration of being misunderstood while celebrating the joy of successful connection. It is perfectly pitched for the elementary years when children are navigating more complex peer dynamics. Parents will appreciate how it deconstructs communication into manageable parts, making it easier to discuss empathy, honesty, and the importance of truly hearing others.
