A groundbreaking accordion board book that captures babies' journey from seeing the world to seeing themselves.

From award-winning creator Kim Hyo-eun (I Am the Subway and How We Share Cake), I Am Here follows babies through the remarkable developmental transition from understanding where things are to understanding where they are.

Beginning with "below" concepts read vertically--sun, clouds, rainbow, Mom--the book matches how babies naturally look up at their world. It then transitions to "beside" relationships read horizontally--grandfather, cat, ants, nature treasures--reflecting babies' growing engagement with their immediate environment. The journey ends with the profound moment of self-recognition: "me."

The ingenious format mirrors how babies actually develop--looking up first, then engaging laterally with their environment. Perfect for tummy time with newborns, spatial learning with babies, early language development with toddlers, and as a keepsake that grows with your child. The accordion design allows traditional reading, wall display, or creative folding for new story combinations.

Through Kim Hyo-eun's warm, humanistic illustrations, I Am Here creates an immersive reading experience grounded in developmental psychology and celebrating both the natural world and the parent-child bond. This innovative book celebrates the cognitive leap that transforms babies into confident little people who know exactly where they belong.
