Reach for this book when your toddler starts pointing at everyone they see in the grocery store or at the park. It is the perfect tool for those first steps into social awareness, helping little ones understand that the world is filled with helpful, friendly people who each have a special role to play. Through bright illustrations and simple text, children are introduced to the various helpers who keep a community running, from the doctor who keeps them healthy to the mail carrier who delivers packages. It is an ideal choice for building early vocabulary and easing the anxiety that can sometimes come with meeting strangers in professional uniforms. By framing these encounters through a lens of curiosity and kindness, the book helps your child feel safe and connected to their neighborhood. It is perfectly pitched for ages 1 to 4, using repetitive structures that allow toddlers to predict and participate in the reading experience.
