Listening Ears for Good Listeners

Listening ears are your superpower! They protect you from danger and help you learn new things. So how will you turn on yours?

Listening Ears for Good Listeners is an illustrated storybook that shows children that using their listening ears keeps them safe, helps them play with friends, wakes up their mind, teaches them about the world, and makes grown-ups happy! It offers a calm and reassuring way to open up conversations by:

• Highlighting all the positive ways to use your ears and really listen
• Helping toddlers understand the importance of listening to instructions, expressing emotions and staying safe
• Encouraging kindness, connection and empathy
• Providing a time to talk about problems in calmer moments

Through colourful illustrations and relatable everyday situations, children are playing together, singing, dancing, finding out how things work and enjoying stories – while understanding that not listening and not paying and attention are not okay.

The large-format pages encourage little hands to get involved too! Children can turn the pages, point at the pictures, join in with the words and talk about what they see, making story time a chance to connect and learn together.

A reassuring addition to any toddler's bookshelf, Gentle Hands for Gentle Children and Listening Ears for Good Listeners will help toddlers and pre-schoolers learn important life lessons in a way that feels positive and playful.
