Excuse Me! is a warm, funny, and heartfelt children's picture book about learning the many ways two little words can show care, kindness, and respect.
When Sophia Rose shouts, "Get out of my way!" her family gently helps her discover a much better phrase: "Excuse me." From there, Sophia, Izzy, and their family explore all the different times those words can be useful - when you need someone to move, when you did not hear something, when you are squeezing through a crowd, when you need someone's attention, when your body makes a surprise noise, or even when Grandpa wants his cookie back.
Filled with playful family moments, expressive illustrations, and silly read-aloud opportunities, Excuse Me! turns everyday manners into a fun and memorable adventure for young children. The story invites readers to join in by reading the "excuse me" speech bubbles with the tone they think fits the moment, making it especially engaging for parents, teachers, grandparents, and caregivers to share aloud.
Perfect for preschool and early elementary readers, this book helps children understand that polite words are not just rules to remember - they are small ways to show kindness, respect, and care for the people around them.
