"This practical guide helps children's librarians plan programming for parents and their children, offering six sessions librarians can use to introduce literacy skills to parents of preschoolers. The sessions, designed to be conducted in two simultaneous units, one for parents and one for children, teach parents how to give their child an opportunity to explore and experience new things. Invitations, handouts, and other helpful materials are provided in the appendix"--P. [4] of cover.
