About Play with Me

This board book series invites young readers to take part in a playdate activity of their choice, thereby empowering them with autonomy and validation. The picnic playdate models balanced and shared play, creating a positive experience that will provide readers with a reference for what caring and considered friendship looks like. Many toddlers and preschoolers consistently ask for someone to play with them, and this book provides just that for the quieter moments of the day. Simple language and gentle questions will help children develop their social skills by practicing conversations, all while engaging them in fun and familiar topics.

Review for Play with Me

Isn’t Ellison so cute? But that friend of his, Rabbit, stole my heart. I have a bunny named Snickers – so of course, we had to read it together. The illustrations are simple and vivid. We especially liked the easy text that asked open-ended questions, encouraging communication. The subtle hints are great lessons to learn at an early age (now it’s time to clean up). We loved this book!

About the Author

Kat Chen is the author of several bestselling contemporary and historical romance books. She also serves on the advisory board for Books for Newborns.

After becoming a grandmother and spending most of her free time helping with “the fun stuff”—conversations, crayons, and crawling—she was inspired to delve into children’s books and help kids master the art of simple conversation through shared play.
