Featuring 400 signs, this is the most comprehensive, user-friendly handbook for parents who want to enhance communication with any child through American Sign Language.

Signing with babies is steadily increasing in popularity. The American Academy of Pediatrics recently endorsed sign language in its material for new parents, saying, "Infant sign language really does deliver on its promise of improved communication." Parents are seeing the effects
of improved communication and bonding with their infants, making baby sign language an essential skill all new parents are eager to learn.

The Baby Signing Bible is a step-by-step guide for parents, caregivers, and educators who are interested in baby sign language. In clear, accessible language, the book explains the basics of baby sign language: what it is, why it's useful, and how it can be easily and successfully taught to babies, children, and kids with special needs. Written by Laura Berg, an education expert and founder of My Smart Hands, Canada's largest baby sign language company, The Baby Signing Bible includes 400 American Sign Language (ASL) signs, real stories from parents who have successfully signed with their children and fun songs and games that parents can learn to sign and sing with their children.
