About the Book
Notice and affirm all the ways toddlers express their emotions and help them develop an emotion vocabulary.Book Synopsis
Notice and affirm all the ways toddlers express their emotions and help them develop an emotion vocabulary.
Happiness, joy, contentment, excitement. In I See You Smile, a caregiver notices and acknowledges when their toddler uses body language to communicate these feelings, guiding adults at home to do the same. The rhyming text and bouncy rhythm engage little ones and make building an emotional vocabulary fun.
I See You series
Children thrive when adults see them and love them for who they are right now. These fun-to-read books provide ways of noticing and affirming how toddlers are growing physically, emotionally, and socially. Each book features a single toddler and takes place over the course of a few hours in a toddler's daily routine, covering themes of emotions, resilience, kindness, curiosity, physical growth, and self-expression.
