Board Book

This board book explores opposites. The use of ink drawings that are simplistic yet colorful enhance the story by allowing for the concept of opposites to be easily recognizable to young readers but also allowing for further explanation for older children.

Picture Book

Literacy All Around Us 
Tips to turn everyday moments into learning moments.  

Build your child's language skills by asking them questions about their day.
Children benefit from reading their favorite story over and over. Mix it up! Ask your child to read the story to you, or ask them to describe what's happening in the pictures. It's not always important to read every word in a book - it's more important to spend quality time together.
