Reach for this book when your toddler is beginning to explore their physical strength and needs a gentle reminder of how to handle delicate objects and loved ones. It is a perfect choice for households introducing a new baby or for children who are transitioning from the impulsive 'grabbing' phase into more mindful social interactions. Gentle Rosie follows a young kitten as she navigates her daily routine, practicing softness as she turns the pages of her books, snuggles with her mother, and kisses her baby brother. With its short, rhythmic sentences and warm illustrations, this story models prosocial behavior and physical self-control in a way that feels like an invitation rather than a lecture. It is an essential tool for teaching empathy and the 'soft touch' required for healthy family bonds.
