What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focuses on universal expressions of kindness and family love.
Ideal Reader
A toddler who is just beginning to point at pictures and mimic first letter sounds, or a preschooler who enjoys 'holiday' themes and is learning to identify letters in the wild.
Parent Prep
This is a 'read cold' book. The simplicity allows parents to expand on the text by asking the child to point to colors or count the items on the page. A parent might reach for this after a toddler's first experience with a 'holiday' at daycare or after the child expresses curiosity about the heart shapes they see in store windows.
