About Time To Get Dressed

“We wrote a CHILDREN’S BOOK y’all!!! Time To Get Dressed is so special to us,” exclaimed Shawna. “It started out as a song Keifer would sing to Cooper and has evolved into a book everyone can read to their kiddos! We’re thrilled to be able to share a part of our family with yours.”

Written by the Country duo’s Keifer and Shawna Thompson and illustrated by Ana Patankar, Time To Get Dressed features cute and colorful full-page pictures and a sing-song storyline – meant to teach children how to get ready for their day and inspired by the duo’s two-year-old son, Cooper.

Our Thoughts

Getting your child dressed can be one of the toughest moments as a parent, especially as they get older and want to become more independent. You will have fights over wanting to wear something too small, too large, too tight, not wanting to wear a sweater even though its -10C outside and why would you wear boots in the snow? Running shoes are much more appropriate!

But these moments are special and can make you laugh. They are excellent teachable moments as well, you need to give your child the tools to make good decisions when getting dressed and the independence to do it on their own. And why not do it using rhyme and song?

This is a sweet and fun book, that you can’t help  but sing the words instead of just reading them out loud. Cooper is learning how to get dressed – starting from the basics – from his toes to finding the right shirt based on the weather and what fits your body (no belly hanging out!) and how to put your pants on properly (this made me laugh – how many times has your child put both legs down one pant leg?!). The illustrations are precious and suit the book perfectly (I loved his beautiful, big eyes!).

This is an adorable, sweet and fun book that will have your child excited about getting dressed in the morning and as they learn the words – they will gain the independence needed to get themselves dressed all on their own.
