How Libraries Help Babies Become Terrific Talkers: A Look Inside Kenosha Public Library’s Innovative Community Read
I’m so honored that the Kenosha Public Library selected my My First Learn-to-Talk board books as the centerpiece of their Terrific Talkers community read for babies and caregivers. Their creativity, care, and commitment to supporting families from day one is truly inspiring.
Excerpt:
“In their feature for Public Libraries Magazine, the Kenosha team shared the simple but powerful question that sparked their project:
“What if your library’s next community read wasn’t for adults, but for babies?”
They described how babies responded immediately to the My First Learn-to-Talk series during storytime—noting that one toddler “made a beeline for the book” and that children eagerly imitated the faces on the pages.
These moments reflect exactly why I wrote these books: to give caregivers simple, joyful ways to support communication during everyday routines.”
