The leader way Ryan engages with the world—grabbing, pointing, babbling—translates directly to how he engages with a book that features his own name. The meaning "Little king" registers as rhythm and emotion long before Ryan understands the words. Ryan's strong temperament shapes these interactions: some toddlers listen rapt, others act out the story physically. Both responses mean it's working.
