Baby sign language makes it easy to communicate with your child, and Nita makes it fun! Nita's First Signs teaches ten essential signs for every parent and child to know, including eat, more, hungry, milk, all done, ball, play, love, please, and thank you. A simple story about Nita and her parents teaches each sign in context, and repetition throughout each story makes them easy to practice. Even better, each page slides open to reveal accurate instructions on how to make each sign, plus tabs on the side of each page make it simple to locate every sign for later reference. Baby sign language collections aren't complete without Nita!

“Nita’s First Signs is a wonderful introduction to the world of
American Sign Language for children. The book is not only
entertaining and creative with its depiction of signs, it
encourages the reader to go to a video source as a means to
reinforce the signs learned -through real-time instruction. In the
end, Nita’s First Signs demonstrates the value and fun of learning
sign language for ALL infants, toddlers children AND adults,
regardless of whether they are Deaf or hearing or hard of
hearing."
-Marlee Matlin, actress, author, and activist
"This unique and fabulous book teaches ten popular ASL signs to
enable basic communication between babies who are not yet talking
and their parents. Ten commonly used words (such
as more, thank you, all done, please, eat,
and hungry) are highlighted. Slide-out panels contain simple
instructions along with pictures that name and illustrate each
sign. Color-coded tabs will help parents easily find the signs
they are looking for. In addition to being beautifully illustrated,
the construction of this book is amazing. This book will appeal to
children and adults of all ages for the simple story, the
lovely illustrations, and the access to American Sign Language that
it provides."
