What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and grounded in a safe, domestic reality.
Ideal Reader
A two-year-old who is obsessed with 'helping' unpack groceries or who finds immense pleasure in tactile exploration and naming objects. It is perfect for a child who thrives on routine and finds comfort in the familiar items of their home.
Parent Prep
This book is best read 'warm,' meaning the parent should be prepared to pause and let the child guess what might be on the next page. No complex context is required. A parent might choose this after their child has tried to rummage through a purse or a grocery sack, or when a child is showing frustration with being left out of 'adult' chores.
