Voices Are Not for Yelling / La voz no es para gritar Board Book

by Elizabeth Verdick, Marieka Heinlen (Illustrator)

Overview

The toddler years are full of growth and smiles—but also tantrums. Toddlers don’t yet have the words to express strong feelings, and they’re still learning social skills. This bilingual English-Spanish board book helps little ones understand why it’s better to use an indoor voice and how to calm down and ask for help. Includes tips for parents and caregivers.
