About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is standing on the threshold of literacy and needs to see reading as an accessible, universal joy rather than a daunting chore. It is a gentle invitation that normalizes the act of reading by showing that everyone from teachers to pets partakes in this magical activity. This simple guide helps build a sense of belonging in the world of books, fostering the self-confidence a preschooler needs to see themselves as a reader. By highlighting the universality of the experience, the book reduces the pressure of starting school. It is an ideal choice for validating a child's transition into a big kid who can engage with the world through letters and stories.
