I See You Play

Notice and Affirm All the Ways Toddlers Are Growing and Developing as They Play Independently, Side-by-Side, and Together

Dressing-up, dancing, painting, splashing. In I See You Play, a caregiver notices and celebrates how toddlers do the important work of exploring their world through play. This book engages little ones with rhyming text and bouncy rhythm, while guiding adults in how to validate and encourage childrens play.

Children thrive when adults see them and love them for who they are right now. These fun-to-read books provide ways of noticing and affirming how toddlers are growing physically, emotionally, and socially. Each book features a single toddler (or, in this case, a set of twins!) and takes place over the course of a few hours in a toddler's daily routine. These simple and tender books cover themes of emotions, resilience, kindness, curiosity, physical growth, and self-expression.
