2023 June Featured Book: Infants

Love You Head to Toe by Ashley Barron

Babies and caregivers of a wide range of ethnicities are represented in this heartwarming read-aloud designed to show little ones how much they are cherished and loved.

Developmental markers: https://startingwithstories.org/infants/.

• Infants are gradually becoming aware of self as a separate being and beginning to notice and
  respond to skin color cues (around 6 months).

Activities:

• While reading this (and other books) point out all the differences (and similarities) you notice about the babies in this book including skin color.
• Look in a mirror with your baby and talk about who they are and what they look like.
• Notice skin color, just like you notice the colors of cars or blocks when you are out in the world.
