Two Together

Reach for this book when your child is beginning to notice that their friends or siblings react differently to the same situation, or when you want to nurture their budding perspective taking skills. While the story follows a cat and dog journeying home, the true narrative is about how two individuals can share the same path while having entirely different sensory and emotional experiences. Through masterful illustrations that shift in style to represent each animal's point of view, the book models how to respect another person's unique way of being in the world. It is a gentle, sophisticated tool for teaching empathy and cognitive flexibility to preschoolers and kindergarteners. Parents will appreciate how it validates individual differences while celebrating the bond that keeps two very different friends together.
