A note from the makers:
I’m Theodora and my daughter is M. We love to sing and be silly. From only a few months old, I found the most enticing way to teach my little one was through singing and song. M is very opinionated, independent, and creative, which I love about her. Even at two years of age, she liked to take part in family discussions and make decisions. I wanted to encourage these traits, so we created this book with choices. We really enjoyed the process and even though it was quite a journey, we are finally done and we hope you enjoy it too!
