Reach for this book when you want to slow down and help your child ground themselves in the physical world through sensory awareness. It is an ideal choice for the curious child who is constantly touching everything they see, or for a child who needs a gentle tool to help express physical sensations and emotions. This collection of tactile poems explores the world through the pads of fingertips and the brush of a cheek, from the fuzz of a peach to the cold glass of a window. Arnold Adoff uses playful word arrangements and rhythmic language to celebrate the magic of the human body and our connection to nature and family. It is a quiet, contemplative read that fosters gratitude for everyday moments. Best suited for children ages 3 to 8, it serves as a beautiful introduction to poetry that feels immediate and relatable rather than abstract.
