Books like A Potty for Me!
By Karen Katz
For the kid mid potty-training, this one turns the wobbly, stop-and-start process into something to cheer for instead of stress over. Encouraging, gentle, and matter-of-fact, with a big warm payoff at the end.
A little boy named Henry gets a big box from his parents that turns out to be a potty, and follows him as he learns to leave diapers behind.
A joyful rhyming tour through all the everyday, easy-to-miss ways a child can be smart — from building the tallest tower to noticing a friend feels sad.
A little girl and her daddy spend a day at the beach, facing small mishaps — a lost shoe, a ball drifting out to sea, a melting ice-cream cone — that he patiently fixes, one by one.
A young tiger can't read, write, draw, or speak, and his worried father watches for progress while his mother insists he just needs time to bloom in his own way.
A girl convinced she can't draw jabs an angry dot onto a blank page just to prove her teacher wrong — and that single mark becomes the start of something unexpected.
An elderly man sets out to paint his porch pink with his cat Tabby by his side, but a scampering squirrel and his neighbor's dog Zeke turn the simple chore into chaos.
A little mouse worries about everything — spilled juice, shrinking in the bathtub, snakes in the radiator — but nothing looms larger than her first day of school.
A celebration told through many young voices, each one honoring the beauty of their own brown skin and finding themselves reflected in the natural world around them.
Two identical-looking twin sisters share the same eyes, cheeks, and smiles, but as they make dumplings, get haircuts, and practice magic tricks, their differences keep showing through.
A boy who loves to draw anytime, anything, anywhere loses his confidence after one careless comment from his older brother — until his little sister shows him a different way to see his own work.
A little boy with only little things — a little pinwheel, a little tricycle — watches his big brother and sister zoom past on bigger, faster toys, until he plants a tiny seed of his own.
A wave sweeps ten rubber ducks off a cargo ship, scattering them across the sea to meet a dolphin, a whale, and other creatures, while the last little duck drifts alone until nightfall.
