Listening as a way to connect

Through a young girl’s experiences at home and school, the book links listening with noticing sounds, learning from others, and feeling a sense of belonging. Its focus is both practical and social: children are introduced to what being a good listener means and how attention can communicate that other people matter. The board-book format is paired with tips for adults and downloadable activities, extending the subject into shared reading or learning settings.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Toddlers and young preschoolers beginning to explore listening and social skills.
  • Parents, caregivers, and teachers seeking a book to introduce listening and connection.
  • Families or groups using the Learning About Me & You series.

"I hear things all around me. Talking is a special sound I hear." Listening is a critical communication skill that builds a child's attention span and leads to understanding. This simple but powerful board book helps toddlers see why listening is important, understand what it means to be a good listener, and recognize how listening benefits everyone. At home and at school, a little girl discovers wonderful sounds, kind words, new things to learn, and a sense of belonging. "When I really listen, I feel like I matter to someone. I show people they're important to me." Includes tips and information for teachers, parents, and caregivers and downloadable bonus activities.
