About Rumi's Soft Path
Rumi the raccoon draws a calm-corner plan on paper, then places one gentle choice after another: a rug and mat, a cube and bottle, a window seat, glowing fish, and a tucked blanket. Rain curls his plan, yet Rumi remembers the rest and finishes a cosy ready path.

How to read it together
Start at the right level
Level 1 is single words for early talkers. Level 2 is short phrases. Level 3 is full storybook sentences. Switch any time, even mid-scene; the art stays put and only the language changes.
Let them find the words
Two glowing spots hide in every scene. Tap one, hear the word, then pause and wait; the wait is where your child's turn happens.
Session-ready
Therapist mode mutes the narration and lays out each scene's target words with their speech-sound tags, so a clinician models and elicits every word live.
