Joseph Garcia’s Complete Guide to Baby Signing is the result of years of research and feedback from thousands of parents. The original idea for creating a truly complete guide came about in a discussion between leading UK baby signing expert Emma Finlay-Smith and US guru, Dr Joseph Garcia in 2002. The result is a book that’s designed with British parents in mind.

It provides a great introduction to baby signing but it’s is also very easy to use and designed specially for busy mums and dads. Dr Garcia appreciates that you don’t have time to spare if you have a baby so the book introduces signs as you would want to use them - grouped together by activity (nappy changing, going to the park, getting baby dressed, etc), by game or even by nursery rhyme.

It makes learning quick, easy and fun.

There is also a section on frequently asked questions as well as a wealth of anecdotes from parents that Joseph and Emma have worked with over the years.

Finally there’s an extensive alphabetical dictionary of signs with detailed instructions and illustrations and there’s even a DVD with live-action video clips of Emma Finlay-Smith.
