1, 2, 3, it's mine!
Book Summary
An illustrated story that explores the stage of childhood egocentrism through the eyes of a baby discovering the concept of possession. With a tender and fun approach, the work addresses how little ones perceive the world, where everything, especially their mom, belongs to them. Ideal for sharing with the family and understanding this phase of development.

The story reflects with humor and sensitivity the stage in which children begin to understand the "me" and the "mine," a natural step in their emotional and social growth.

Editorial review
A fitting choice for first family readings, which naturally addresses a key phase of child development. Its simple approach and expressive illustrations make it easy for the child to identify with the protagonist, while the short, repetitive text is ideal for capturing the attention of the youngest readers. A book that, without pretension, fulfills its purpose of accompanying and entertaining, while offering a window into understanding early emotions.
