Reviews

  • "The soothing verse follows a year in the life of a newborn... while the illustrations highlight the seasons of the year. The simple, gentle rhymes are perfect to read aloud; the patterns of the detailed illustrations include a patchwork of textures and a tumble of babies of every shade. . ."
