Highlights
This book was originally developed as part of ‘Let’s Read’ Initiative in 2006 to promote early stimulation, responsive caregiving (serve and return) and early literacy through all caregivers including but not limited to parents and grandparents. It also encourages inclusion of all young children and equal respect to boys and girls.
This Let’s Read series was widely distributed throughout Myanmar in all early child development settings and kindergartens across all primary schools in Myanmar.
In the current situation affected by COVID-19, this book is made available online to be used by more children and families to foster positive relationships through reading books and doing routines together.
Shwe Mi is about the day of a little girl. It shows how from morning until bedtime, during the typical routine of daily life, family members can encourage her to be healthy, safe, curious and confident.
Play is an important activity for young children – it is the way they learn about themselves, their world, how to solve problems, how to use their bodies and how to be creative. Children do not need expensive toys to play. You can see that Shwe Mi’s favorite toy is her father being an elephant. You too can be your child’s favorite toy.
Every family member has ability to help their child become healthy, happy, curious and confident. This book is one tool for you to use in your everyday life to help you and your child – we know you are doing many more wonderful things already.
