Why a book with their own face in it?
Around eighteen months, something clicks. A child looks in the mirror, or at a photo, and knows: that is me. A story they are in meets them right there.
- They recognise themselves from about 18 monthsIn the classic mirror test, most children touch the spot on their own nose between 18 and 24 months. Soon after, they point at a photo and say "me".
- They learn more words from a book about themIn a study with preschoolers, children learned the words in the personalised pages better than the same words in the pages that were not about them.
- They laugh more and talk moreParents and children reading a personalised book smiled and laughed more, and the children spoke more, than with the child's own favourite book.
That is why every Dot & Moon book puts their real face on every page, from age two.
Square hardcover or softcover, 20 by 20 cm (8 by 8 inches), 30 pages inside. Words written by people, and a real person reads every book before it prints.
