Reach for this book when your toddler is facing the intimidating hurdle of a first swim lesson or simply struggling with the multi step process of getting dressed.

It transforms a potentially stressful routine into a playful game of discovery. By inviting children to physically help Maisy through tabs and flaps, it builds confidence in their own self-care skills.
