Sadler's rhymed text celebrates a baby's extended family circle of love. From Mama and Daddy to sibling, grandparents, great-grandmother, cousins, Auntie, Uncle, and a puppy, everyone "is reaching" for Baby, until Baby, now old enough, starts reaching for "everything new." Watercolors bolster the slight story, conveying the playful affection for Baby across the generations as everyone shares cuddles, books, and a picnic.
