A parent might reach for this book when they are looking to transform the necessary, and sometimes fussy, developmental milestone of tummy time into a moment of playful connection. While pediatricians recommend these daily exercises to build physical strength, many infants find the position frustrating. This book serves as a rhythmic cheerleader, using infectious verse and bright illustrations to distract and delight babies as they work those important neck and torso muscles. The story is less of a narrative and more of a celebratory chant, depicting a diverse range of families and babies engaging in various daily routines. It normalizes the effort involved in growing up, framing physical development as a joyful series of 'games' and 'times' shared with loved ones. It is perfectly suited for infants from birth to age two, providing a tool for parents to model resilience and physical curiosity in an accessible, upbeat format.
