This little book on celebrating is part of an important series which focuses on the words we need to talk about big topics with young children in a way that feels good. Using carefully chosen words and phrases in a warm lyrical way, it creates a special moment for grown-ups and young children to talk about what - and how - we celebrate, including milestones, happy and sad events, carnivals, festivals, new babies and new teeth - and reminds us to have fun with each other every day. Children can discover and understand new words to help them to talk with confidence. The engaging art style, fun characters who appear in familiar settings in all the books, and hardback picture book feel make this series accessible and perfect to share. Each one includes reassuring tips for grown-ups on how to enjoy these books, encourage conversation and build language confidence. This series is special not only because it focuses on feelings in a child-friendly way, but also because it's from Oxford, it's packed with educational goodness that helps children develop and grow.
