Why this book?
. It promotes imitation and movement: the book focuses on "actions, gestures and situations". This invites active reading: parents can imitate the elephant's swing or koala hug, encouraging the baby to move the body. It is an excellent way to work with motor skills and body awareness
. It celebrates universality (inclusion): by showing four different babies taking their first steps, the book celebrates human and animal diversity. It teaches that, although we are different "at first sight", our feelings, needs of affection and curiosity around the world are exactly the same.
