About
Where the Wild Chats Are

Transform any picture book into meaningful conversations that spark curiosity, build vocabulary, and create lasting memories with your child.

Why Conversation Matters Now More Than Ever:

  • Brain Development: UNICEF studies show 80% of a child's brain forms by age 3, with over 1 million neural connections created every second during these critical years
  • Reading Impact: UK BookTrust research demonstrates interactive reading has 4x more impact on academic progress than parental education or income
  • Language Consequences: UK National Literacy Trust reports children who struggle with language at age 5 are 5x more likely to fail English at age 11
  • Lifelong Benefits: Open University's Reading for Pleasure initiative found early reading leads to better cognitive performance, mental wellbeing, and childhood readers earn 16% more as adults
  • Conversation Quality: Harvard-MIT studies published in Psychological Science found conversational turns—not just hearing words—create measurable brain changes and stronger language skills
  • Screen Time vs. Books: Research shows excessive early screen time (over 4 hours daily) delays communication and problem-solving skills, while picture books support sustained attention and deeper comprehension—children understand print books more easily than digital versions as screens distract from storylines
  • Current Crisis: COVID-19 doubled speech therapy referrals, and UK National Literacy Trust data shows family reading time plummeted 15 percentage points since 2019, with only 50.5% of parents reading daily with their children—the lowest levels in 20 years

What is a Picture Book?

Picture books are typically 32-page books designed for children ages 2-8, where illustrations and text work together to tell the story. They're perfect for shared reading and conversation. Examples include classics like "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," "Where the Wild Things Are," and "The Gruffalo."

Include the author for best results! Examples: "The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle", "Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak"
