Description
Tickle follows a mother and her baby through the most tender of all journeys: the sensory discovery of the world, one gentle touch, one soft word, one shared smile at a time.
Across the pages, dreamy aquarelle illustrations breathe warmth and calm into every spread, while simple poetic words in Arabic and English name the adorable animals and familiar objects of everyday life — from playful cats to sweet fruits — each one an invitation to point, to laugh, to whisper, and to wonder together.
More than a simple book for babies, Tickle was born from an understanding that the first months with a newborn are filled with love, but also sleepless nights and long days of caring for your little one. Inspired by the soothing rhythms of everyday Moroccan life, Tickle is a small treasure made to offer mothers and babies a quiet moment of connection, calm, and playful joy. It helps your baby discover their first words while delighting in the colors and shapes of the world around them. The soft aquarelle illustrations create a tender atmosphere that calms little ones and offers mothers a moment of beauty and escape from the demands of the daily routine. Because the first years of a child’s life are the most important: the time when habits are born, rhythms are set, and the foundations of a lifetime are quietly laid. Tickle is the foundation of reading. And every page turned together is a moment that will never be forgotten.
Why this book matters:
- — In the first years of life, every habit, every rhythm, every repeated gesture becomes the foundation of who a child will be. Reading aloud to a baby is not just a sweet moment; it is an act of construction, building language, security, curiosity and connection from the very first pages.
- — In a world of screens and noise, Tickle offers something radical in its simplicity: a mother’s voice, a baby’s attention, and a book between two pairs of hands.
- — Introducing books before a child can even speak plants a seed that grows for a lifetime. Tickle is not just a first book. It is the beginning of a reading life.
