Following a child's natural developmental progression from connection to independence, the six-book series grows with your child through: Connection → Body → World → Imagination → Feelings → Independence As the fourth stage in this journey, Book 4 celebrates creativity and imagination. Through pretend play, silly surprises, make-believe, and unfolding stories, children begin to use language not only to describe the world, but also to create new worlds of their own. Language becomes a tool for creativity and self-expression. 6 Songs + You Say It, I Say It Each book includes six original songs and a special You Say It, I Say It page that invites children to revisit favorite words and pictures through playful listening and speaking. The songs grow out of the moments families already share throughout their day. Many were inspired by family games, traditions, and cherished rituals shared across generations in Chinese families.
