About This Book

It is a perfect choice for those quiet moments before a nap or at bedtime when you want to foster a sense of security and curiosity about the world. This gentle narrative celebrates the fundamental joy of discovery as a small child identifies familiar objects and people in her environment. Rachel Isadora uses soft, expressive illustrations and minimal text to mirror the focused perspective of an infant.

What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focuses on safe, everyday experiences within a stable, loving environment.
Ideal Reader
A toddler who is just beginning to point at objects and name them. It is also perfect for a parent looking to establish a calm, meditative reading routine that mirrors the child's developmental milestone of recognizing their surroundings.
Parent Prep
No prep is needed. The book is designed to be read 'cold' and works best when the parent allows time for the child to point at the illustrations between pages. A parent might reach for this after seeing their child stare intently at a shadow on the wall, reach for a flower, or light up with recognition when a family member enters the room.
