An exciting new series of first phrase books for toddlers - introducing word combinations to help navigate first experiences!

Take a trip to the park in Let's Go!, and meet four new friends and their families as they explore their surroundings.

Read along with your toddler to encourage next steps in their language development by putting single words together to create everyday phrases. Play in the playground ("again, again!"), say hello to dogs, ducks and squirrels ("woof, woof dog!"), then share a snack before heading home ("byebye park!").

With text written in consultation with Priya Desai, a children's speech and language therapist, Toddler Talk features familiar scenes of everyday life with lots of busy toddlers to look at (including a mirror on the final page so they can see themselves), these books are designed to be fun to read aloud, while supporting an important stage of language development. Have fun with this preschool board book series that meets children on their language learning journey, with relatable words and phrases that are easy to understand and imitate.

About the Author

Carolina Búzio is an illustrator and occasional animator drawn to quirky characters and exciting colour combinations.

She was born in the lovely seaside town of Porto, Portugal, and is currently living in artsy Berlin, Germany, with her partner (who is unfortunately allergic to cats or else she'd finally be the crazy cat lady her child-self always assumed she would one day be).

With a great memory for faces (but terrible for names, she apologises in advance) and objects with a personality, it makes sense that she illustrates children's books for a living.

The toughest but also her favourite part of the illustration process is the colouring stage: whenever she puts two odd colours together that go unexpectedly well, she gets butterflies in her stomach.
