HELLO CONTRAST! Series of 3 (0-12 Months)
Unlock Your Baby's Genius: Bold Black & White, Red,
and Blue Patterns for Visual & Cognitive Leap
Each book in your series of 3 is designed to match the developmental stages of a baby's visual and cognitive growth by leveraging the understanding that babies' brains are particularly receptive to high-contrast imagery early on, progressing to include colors as their visual perception evolves. This progression from black and white to incorporating red, and then blue, not only supports visual development but also engages cognitive processes in a way that is both educational and entertaining for infants.
