Description:
First Discoveries: My Body & Me is a first reference book for children ages 2 and up. Each object appears alone on a clean white page with its name in lowercase - the way children first encounter words.
The book follows a child through nine chapters: from the parts of the face and body, to the five senses, to getting dressed, eating breakfast, naming feelings, learning first words like hello, please, and no, and closing the day with a bath and a goodnight.
Inspired by Montessori principles - real objects before categories, the body before the world, naming before defining. Designed to be read slowly, returned to often, and led by the child.
Illustrated throughout. For home, classroom, or quiet mornings together.
