Description: I See You Play is one in a six-board book series celebrating toddlers. Twin toddlers tumble and run, build and pretend as a caregiver notices all the ways they play--learning as they go. Children thrive when adults acknowledge their accomplishments and love them for who they are right now. The I See You series models language adults can use to validate and affirm the children in their care. Each book takes place over the course of a few hours in a toddler's day and repeats the phrases "I see you," "I watch you," and "I hear you." With their bouncy rhythm and charming rhyme, these books are perfect for engaging little ones.
