About This Book

It is a perfect selection for those quiet, snuggly moments after a day of active play or as a confidence booster for a toddler hesitant to try something new.

Phyllis Root uses infectious, rhythmic rhymes that celebrate the milestone of growing up with a sense of security and joy. Parents will appreciate the way it mirrors the caregiver's role as a steady support system, while the bright, friendly illustrations keep toddlers engaged. It is a beautiful reminder that every 'flip' and 'flap' is a small victory worth celebrating, making it an ideal choice for building a child's sense of pride and curiosity about the natural world.
