Toddler-PreS–Few board books blend physical awareness, emotional intelligence, and joyful representation as seamlessly as this one. Paquette’s rhythmic text explores the many things mouths can do (eat, sing, ­advocate, comfort), while Khadija’s vibrant art and thoughtful use of color celebrate a joyful and diverse range of faces, voices, and ­experiences. Every page models agency, ­connection, and kindness.
VERDICT An ­essential, empowering addition to early literacy, SEL, and identity collections.
