Continue reading ASL for Preschool StorytimesI’m so excited for the release of my new series, Sign the Seasons, from Familius Press! One cool thing about releasing a seasons series is that I will have a new book coming out every few months over the next year! Fall debuts on August 4, followed by Winter on November 3, and Spring and Summer are coming in early 2027! I recently got my author copies of Sign the Seasons: Fall and got to hold this beautiful book in my hands for the first time:
Sign the Seasons introduces babies and toddlers to early communication through the sights and traditions of the seasons. Each book features 8 essential American Sign Language signs in a simple, story-driven context. With warm illustrations by Ekaterina Ladatko and clear signing instructions, children and caregivers can learn and practice together, turning everyday moments into opportunities for connection and language development. Perfect for families and early learning settings, the Sign the Seasons series blends seasonal fun with meaningful skill-building for little learners.
