It then transitions to \"beside\" relationships read horizontally-grandfather, cat, ants, nature treasures-reflecting babies' growing engagement with their immediate environment. The journey ends with the profound moment of self-recognition- \"me.\"\n\nThe ingenious format mirrors how babies actually develop-looking up first, then engaging laterally with their environment. Perfect for tummy time with newborns, spatial learning with babies, early language development with toddlers, and as a keepsake that grows with your child. The accordion design allows traditional reading, wall display, or creative folding for new story combinations.\n\nThrough Kim Hyo-eun's warm, humanistic illustrations, I Am Here creates an immersive reading experience grounded in developmental psychology and celebrating both the natural world and the parent-child bond. This innovative book celebrates the cognitive leap that transforms babies into confident little people who know exactly where they belong.","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47288512512236,"sku":"9781761382062","price":24.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781761382062.jpg?v=1770559409"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/hyo-eun-kim.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
