About This Book

For babies and toddlers who may be hesitant about the water, seeing real-life faces of other children enjoying the tub or pool provides a comforting mirror that normalizes the experience. It is the perfect tool for early socialization and self-care routines. This tactile board book features high-quality photographs of babies interacting with water alongside textured patches to touch and feel. By focusing on the sensory delights of splashing, bubbles, and wet skin, it builds a positive emotional connection to hygiene and swimming. It is specifically designed for the smallest hands to explore independently, fostering a sense of wonder and curiosity about their own bodies and the world around them.
