Guiding a vine here and there, plucking a leaf or two… until it ‘feels’ right.

My 2 yr old button-obsessed daughter loves this book so much. One of my all time favorite children books. It’s such a creative concept! I believe the guy that put it together is currently crowdfunding for an advanced engineering for babies edition.
