Baby Sam's first word is urgent, but her family isn't listening. What will she do?
Baby Sam is eager to share her first word, but her family is too busy vying for her attention. Mama sings, Papa tells stories, and even neighbor Mr. Theotopolous performs poetry, all hoping to hear their names. But Sam's message is urgent and misunderstood. How can she make them listen? As the chaos unfolds, Sam might need to take drastic measures to be heard. Will her family finally understand her? This delightful tale promises laughter and cheers as Sam strives for her triumphant moment.
Your Baby’s First Word Will Be Dada meets Everybody Poops in this silly story about a baby whose first word–POOP!–isn’t getting the message across. Everyone in Sam’s family wants her to say their name for her first word. To convince her, Mama sings, Papa tells a story, and Nana draws. Even their neighbor Mr. Theotopolous gets in on the action by performing an epic poem. Sam definitely has something to say, something urgent, but how can she make her family stop thinking about themselves and listen? When all else fails, she may have to take drastic measures . . . . This sweetly silly story is read-aloud fun for the whole family, from parents who may end up laughing at themselves to kids who will cheer Sam on to her triumphant finale.
