September is Deaf Awareness Month, but the benefits of sign language extend to all young children! Introducing basic signs to babies and toddlers gives them a way to communicate their needs and ideas before they’re able to use spoken words.

Beyond communication, signing encourages early cognitive development by engaging children’s memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. It’s also a fun, interactive way for caregivers and little ones to connect and learn together!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar’s First Signs introduces ten essential signs through engaging photographs and a familiar friend. Babies, toddlers, and their families can practice the signs together while building early communication skills, then come back to the book again and again.
