PreS-K–A child introduced to “you” as Ellison—no gender provided but with a mop of black hair, kind wide-set eyes, and alabaster skin—waves in onlookers, asking “your name,” and asking if you’d like to join Rabbit and Ellison for a picnic. Cookies are offered: “Which cookie do you want?/ Mmmmm! You picked a good one!” At the end, you help clean up and the day is finished. With the help of a caregiver or educator, it’s easy to imagine children interacting with the “play with me” text and answering the simple queries, as well as taking in the etiquette and the flow of the play date. Nam’s illustrations have the look of cut-paper and felted textures, making this board book as welcoming as a day in the park.
VERDICT So much good cheer, in such a small package, this is sure to find a ready audience for story hours or one-on-one.
