Illustrated by
Ashley Barron.
A West African mother (country not named) with gentle arms, a Peruvian sister with a shawl, a Korean dad in a wheelchair using a front carrier, and more all demonstrate and celebrate the bonds between loving relatives and little babies. The families, including a multiracial family from "the place you call home," are depicted in wonderfully textured collages full of socially inclusive details.
