Children want to be helpful and are eager to become more independent. We see this whenever children insist "I can do it myself!" or "Let me!" This warm, inviting book introduces young children to safe, age-appropriate ways to help out: by staying close at the grocery store, putting their toys away, getting dressed by themselves, waiting their turn, sitting still at the doctor's office, putting trash in the right place, and more.Children will be drawn into the colorful pictures that show kids their age at home, at school, and with family members. Like our world, the illustrations are multiethnic.You Are Helpful invites children to see themselves and say "I can do that!" and lets them know they are competent and capable.
