On-the-Go Time (Toddler Tools Series) – Gentle Board Book for Toddlers (Ages 1-3 yrs) | Build Calm Transitions & Travel-Ready Behaviour

On-the-Go Time is a gentle Toddler Tools® board book written by Elizabeth Verdick and illustrated by Marieka Heinlen, published by Free Spirit Publishing. It is designed for toddlers ages 1–3 and helps young children handle the transitions and changing environments that come with errands, outings, and travel.

The book follows toddlers as they get dressed, leave the house, ride in the car, visit places such as stores and libraries, and move from one activity to another. It encourages children to listen, follow along, help adults, and keep moving while learning how to cope with unfamiliar sights, sounds, and changes in routine.

When children feel disappointed, overwhelmed, or overstimulated, the book introduces simple calming strategies such as taking deep breaths. This makes it useful for building cooperation, confidence, and calmer behavior during everyday outings. A section at the back also provides tips for parents and caregivers.
