You Are Growing All the Time

You Are Growing All the Time celebrates the many ways children grow—inside and out—and supports them through the ups and downs along the way.

The steady love of a caregiver can help children thrive, even when life is challenging. You Are Growing All the Time recognises and affirms the physical, social, emotional, and educational growth of children as they:

• grow taller
• help a friend who fell off the swings
• pause and breathe when angry about losing a game
• ask questions

Written from the perspective of a caring adult speaking to a child, You Are Growing All the Time features charming rhymes, words of affirmation for kids, and a heart-warming message. The book is perfect for story time, home, the pre-school classroom, and whenever children need a reminder of all the ways they’re loved and appreciated.

"You Are Growing All the Time is such a celebration of children—Fred Rogers would be so proud! Through Deborah Farmer Kris’s loving and playful words, kids and parents will be celebrating life’s small moments with BIG results of empowerment, kindness, and a sense of self-worth."
- Angela C. Santomero, creator of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, co-creator of Blue’s Clues

"Kids are growing every day, and You Are Growing All the Time underscores that even the smallest changes are important. Every page of Deborah Farmer Kris’s beautifully illustrated new book celebrates a different way that children grow, from trying something new, to learning to ride a bike, to growing kinder, braver, and more curious. As an elementary school counselor, therapist, and parent, I love Kris’s reminder to recognize and mark kids’ progress, whether change is happening on the inside or the outside."
- Phyllis Fagell, LCPC, school counselor and author of Middle School Matters
