Here Is the Baby
What's Here Is the Baby About
This New York Times Best Illustrated Book captures all the sweet and touching moments in Baby’s day, from Mama’s first cuddle in the morning to Daddy’s last kiss at bedtime. Parents and their little ones will enjoy seeing themselves in the simple, straightforward observations of the routines of a baby, including Baby’s first shaky steps, Baby’s much needed nap, the comfort of Baby’s bottle, a steamy bath, and a bedtime story. Like Mem Fox’s Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes, this charming and joyful picture book by Polly Kanevsky and illustrated by Taeeun Yoo, the recipient of a previous New York Times Best Illustrated Award and an Ezra Jack Keats Award, will surely appeal to families with young children.
