Let me introduce you to another new reading adventure for little ones with Play Outside with Me, by Kat Chen (Author) and Lorraine Nam (Illustrator).

Let’s dive more into this fun series and see what the buzz is all about.

About the Book

 

 

This board book series invites young readers to take part in a playdate activity of their choice, thereby empowering them with autonomy and validation. In this second book, the outdoor playdate models balanced and shared play, creating a positive reference for what caring and considered friendship looks like. Many toddlers and preschoolers consistently ask for someone to play with them, and this book provides just that for the quieter moments of the day. Simple language and gentle questions will help children develop their social skills by practicing conversations, all while engaging them in fun and familiar topics.
