It started with a toddler who wouldn’t sit down. Bathtime was a nightly negotiation, so we tried standard bath books to buy some seated calm. The problem? They were over before they really began. Most had just a few scattered words, and many had none at all. This felt like a huge missed opportunity. We all know how critical daily reading is for early brain development, but finding time in the chaos of modern family life is harder than ever. Bathtime happens every single night. It’s one of the few guaranteed moments we get with our kids where they are a truly captive audience. Bringing a real story into the water solves the time problem—guaranteeing those crucial reading minutes while calming them down for bed. If the books made for the tub weren't going to help us read together, I decided to write them myself.
