Let's Move! (Healthy Milestones)

A celebration of baby’s first-year milestones with playful sliders, lift-the-flaps, and touch-and-feel textures. Written and designed with the pediatric experts at Mayo Clinic.

Let’s Move! is a joyful celebration of the incredible growth that happens in a baby’s first year. Co-written by Mayo Clinic pediatrician Dr. Angela Mattke, this interactive board book is designed to support both babies and their grownups. With fun interactive features, each page encourages movement, exploration, and bonding—while gently guiding parents through key developmental milestones from 6 to 12 months.

Milestones featured in the book include:

• Smiling at the sound of a familiar voice
• Using simple signs (e.g., “milk,” “all done”)
• Playing peek-a-boo
• Crawling
• Pulling to stand
• Using a pincer grip
• Engaging in social play
• Expressing with exclamations like “uh-oh!”

Let’s Move! highlights the wonder of early childhood development in a reassuring, joyful way. Expert insights help caregivers understand what to expect, while also emphasizing that every child grows at their own pace—and that’s something to celebrate.

Backed by trusted Mayo Clinic expertise, the Healthy Milestones series combines playful sliders, lift-the-flaps, and touch-and-feel textures to support early learning and connection. These interactive board books turn everyday moments into opportunities for exploration, language, movement, and bonding between little ones and their grownups.
