(2) PS Lighthearted direct-address rhymes describe the things a new baby can do. Colorful digital-collage illustrations show cute blob-shaped babies with a variety of skin tones, their actions and emotions easy to read as they grow and learn. Their accomplishments may seem small, but they're monumental for young ones (and their grownups) and reassuringly portrayed for all: "You might not know just what to do... / That's okay when you are new."
