Book Description
for You Are My Perfect Baby by Joyce Carol Thomas and Nneka Bennett
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
The very things all parents admire in their babies are the things interesting babies the most: their bodies. This board book pictures a baby and mother who could be almost any race or ethnicity and celebrates “perfect arms and perfect lips / and tiny fingers / and perfect hips... perfect feet and twinkling toes / with tiny ears / and a perfect nose.” Babies and toddlers always enjoy having various parts of their bodies named. This can be done even more affectionately than usual while this book is shared. (Ages 6-18 months)
