The Things I Love

This first rhyming book in The Things I Love collection is a sweet recap of childhood through a little boy's scrapbook.

Notable features include:

--Rhymes that encourage language development and easier engagement with the text.

--Short book for busy parents eager to spend time with their children but also pressed to finish work and household
  tasks.

--Countdown for a disguised teachable moment to practice numbers and counting, all the while helping your children      
  wind down towards sleep.

--Vibrant illustrations that jump off the page and add more details beyond the text, inviting parents and children to
  explore more of the story than what's written.

--Nostalgia bubbling up in parents, sparking ideas for new experiences with your children.

--Black / Brown mother and son, whether African American or AfroLatino, to diversify your bookshelf and provide other
  BIPOC children with a mirror of themselves in their own books.
