A little boy notices helpers and shares ways he is a helper too. "I
know lots of people who help me." Even very young children often
respond naturally to the needs of others and want to give comfort
and help. As they see family, teachers, and community members
helping them, they may want to do helpful things as well. "I'm a
helper too. I want to show that I care." Positive and friendly,
this board book encourages toddlers to notice the ways others help
them and recognize some of the many ways they can help others. From
simple gestures like offering the baby a pacifier or giving comfort
to a friend, to bigger tasks that involve working with others to
wash the dog, pick up toys, or plant a seedling, children see that
they can make an important contribution. "'I'm big enough now to
help in a big way." As children become more aware of the feelings,
needs, and wants of others, they can learn simple and ordinary
responses that show empathy and caring to those around them. A
section for adults offers tips on talking about the book together,
along with activities for encouraging children to help others.
Access to a digital download with ideas for opportunities for
toddlers to help in their community is also provided. Learning
