You Are My Perfect Baby
CCBC Review:
"You are a perfect baby / with perfect arms and perfect lips / and tiny fingers / and perfect hips." A wonderful board book invites warm, playful interactions with babies and toddlers while begin read aloud. In addition to celebrating "perfect feet and twinkling toes / with tiny ears / and a perfect nose," this marvelous offering showing an African American baby and mother is a celebration of love.
