A book to celebrate the people we love: Who? A Celebration of Babies by Robie H. Harris, illustrated by Natascha Rosenberg
Your baby is really getting to know the people they love, and Who? A Celebration of Babies is a simple board book which is perfect for embracing this interest.
On each page the text repeats, asking “Who’s that?” and giving the answer with a bright, friendly illustration. It might be Dadda, Grandparents or even a bird, and each of the visitors is shown playing with or cuddling a baby.
Not only will this book’s lovely design capture your baby’s attention, but it’s also a wonderful opportunity for them to hear lots of language linked to people in their life.
By repeating phrases on every page your baby will soon know to anticipate the reveal of each character, and as they grow they might even start to tell you who is in the picture.
It’s a perfect book for getting friends and family involved in story time.
You can put on voices for each family member (including pets) as you read the book aloud, and talk about the last time you saw that person with your baby. You might look at some photos of the person and your baby together.
If they don’t live close by, you could ask your loved ones to send a recording of themselves reading the book for you to play to your baby as you look at the pictures together.
