Description

Notice and affirm all the ways toddlers try new things and build resilience.

Toddlers are constantly testing their limits and trying new things. In I See You Try, a caregiver notices all the ways their toddler is trying and persisting throughout the day and celebrates little ones' growing skills. 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.
