Synopsis
This gorgeously presented keepsake is the perfect gift for new parents, enabling mums, dads and caregivers to bond with their new child and build early communication skills.
Children are learning to communicate before they are born, and parents can encourage the formation of language by talking to their child about what's around them and taking notice of the way their child communicates.
Featuring expert insights, a gentle rhyme to read to baby, beautiful illustrations and pages to personalise, this gift book will quickly become a family favourite at storytime.
With an introduction from a Speech and Language expert filled with tips on how to encourage communication with your child, parents and caregivers will learn about pre-verbal skills such as eye contact, sharing attention, turn taking, gesturing and babbling.
There are pages to personalise, with space to record early communication milestones from the first time baby points right through to first words. To the back of the book is a secure envelope where parents can keep photos, drawings and other treasured items.
The rhyming text which follows is a beautiful, lyrical poem which touches on the emotions of early parenthood and pre-verbal communication skills. Parents are encouraged to read the poem aloud to baby, which is filled with first words for baby and touching sentiments for parents. The poem is accompanied by the stunning illustrations of Anneli Bray, featuring parents and infants, learning together.
