Tummy Girl

(3) PS Illustrated by Sam Williams. A parent describes the growth of her baby, concluding that no matter how big the little one gets, she'll always be her parent's "tummy girl." Toddlers will enjoy the text's tongue-twisting rhythm, even if they don't understand every word ("A wrapped-in-cotton-swaddling girl, / Whose diapers started to unfurl"). Williams's digitally colored charcoal and pastel illustrations show cheerfully cherubic toddlers.
