Let's Grow! (Healthy Milestones)

An interactive celebration of toddlers’ social, emotional, and problem-solving growth, featuring playful sliders, lift-the-flaps, and hands-on mechanisms. Created in partnership with Mayo Clinic pediatric experts.

Let’s Grow! invites children and their grown-ups to join a lively birthday party in the park, where friends play, create, and learn together. Co-created with Mayo Clinic pediatrician Dr. Angela Mattke, this interactive board book follows children as they share gifts, build forts, play games, and help one another through challenges. Through vibrant scenes—like crafting nature masks, playing hide and seek, and working together to build a den—Let’s Grow! encourages teamwork, empathy, and joyful group play. With simple phrases and familiar routines, this book supports key developmental milestones around the age of three and up while celebrating the importance of friendship and cooperation.
