Publishers Weekly

Starred Review
 In a five-section treasury of poems... married collaborators Davis Pinkney and Pinkney (Loretta Little Looks Back) speak directly to children of color via joyful nursery-style rhymes and glad images of brown-skinned babies and adults with various skin tones... A radiant evocation of love. 

School Library Journal

Starred Review
The universality of the big and small world of the baby — everything is so new, but the sensation of being coddled is soothingly familiar — makes this a book for all families to share and savor.  

Kirkus

A lovely gift and guide for new parents.
