Books for Keeps 5-star review
"Follow five families and their babies through the first 12 months in a diverse and inclusive celebration of babyhood. Otter-Barry calls it a 21st century answer to the Alhbergs’ Baby’s Catalogue."
Fiona Noble - The Bookseller
"An absolutely gorgeous and inclusive celebration of babies during their first year of life... this book is a delight from cover to cover...there’s never a dull moment as Ros’s wonderfully detailed, amusing illustrations show (I love the soft toy’s thought bubbles). Mary’s straightforward narrative has a gentle playfulness with lots of baby sounds and comments from family members."
