About the Book



Appealing photos of babies from sixteen cultures from around the globe are woven together by simple narration. Diverse settings highlight specific differences in clothing, daily life, and traditions, as well as demonstrate that babies all over the world are nurtured by the love, caring, and joy that surround them.



Book Synopsis



Meet babies from around the world in this bilingual (Spanish/English), best-selling celebration of global heritage! First in the Global Babies series.

From Guatemala to Bhutan, seventeen vibrantly colored photographs embrace our global diversity and give glimpses into the daily life, traditions, and clothing of babies from around the world. Simple text in Spanish and English teaches the littlest readers that everywhere on earth, babies are special and loved.

A perfect baby shower gift or first book for the toddler in your life. Babies love to look at babies and this bright collection of photos is a ticket to an around-the-world journey. Part of the proceeds from this book's sales will be donated to the Global Fund for Children to support innovative community-based organizations that serve the world's most vulnerable children and youth.



Review Quotes




♦ Striking in its simplicity and effectiveness, this colorful board book takes into account two fundamental facts. First, babies like to look at faces, particularly the faces of other babies. Second, today's babies will grow up in a world that is, increasingly, a global neighborhood. This introduces young children to their neighbors throughout the world by providing clear photographs of babies in Guatemala, Thailand, Greenland, Mali, the U.S., India, South Africa, Fiji, Peru, Afghanistan, Malawi, Spain, Iraq, Rwanda, and Bhutan. Like Ajmera's earlier books connected with the nonprofit organization Global Fund for Children, such as To Be a Kid and Be My Neighbor, this title seeks a broad, inclusive sense of community. Each page features a single child in a photo shown against a rich, solid background color. Appearing phrase by phrase at the bottom of the pages, the book's complete text reads, "Wherever they live, / wherever they go, / whatever they wear, / whatever they feel, / babies everywhere / are beautiful, / special, / and loved." Attuned to its audience, the book's close-ups emphasize the children's faces and create a feeling of connection between subject and viewer. In an era hewn, board books too often recycle picture book stores intended for older children, here's one that is just right for babies and toddlers.

A Disappointing Read: Not Suitable for Children

1 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
Sh - 1 year ago
I recently came across a book that claims to be suitable for children but found it to be highly inappropriate and unsuitable for young readers. Here's why this book failed to meet my expectations: 1. Inappropriate Content: The book contains content that is not appropriate for the intended audience. It introduces themes or situations that are beyond the comprehension or maturity level of children. The explicit language, violence, or adult-oriented topics presented in the book are highly inappropriate for young readers. 2. Lack of Educational Value: A good children's book should be educational or provide some valuable life lessons. Unfortunately, this book failed to deliver any meaningful or educational content. It lacked depth and failed to engage children's curiosity or imagination. Instead, it seemed to focus on shock value or sensationalism, which is not conducive to a positive reading experience for young minds. 3. Poor Writing Style: The book's writing style was subpar and failed to capture the attention of young readers. The language was convoluted, making it difficult for children to understand. The storytelling lacked coherence, with disjointed plotlines and shallow character development. As a result, the book failed to foster a love for reading or help children develop their language and comprehension skills. 4. Misleading Target Audience: One of the most disappointing aspects was the misinformation regarding the target audience. The book claimed to be suitable for children, but it clearly was not. This inaccurate classification led to a complete mismatch between the book's content and the expectations of parents or caregivers who purchased it for their children. 5. Lack of Positive Messages: Positive messages and moral lessons are crucial in children's books, shaping their values and character. However, this book fell short in providing any meaningful messages or promoting positive behaviors. The absence of such elements left the reader with a sense of emptiness and missed opportunities for learning and growth. In conclusion, this book not suitable for children failed on multiple fronts. It contained inappropriate content, lacked educational value, featured poor writing style, misled the target audience, and lacked positive messages. As a concerned reader, I cannot recommend this book to any young readers. It is essential to exercise caution when selecting books for children, ensuring they are age-appropriate, educational, and foster a love for reading in a positive and engaging manner.

Baby Faces

Claire - 4 years ago, Verified purchaser
My 9 month old daughter loves looking at the baby faces in this book. I love the baby facial expressions. The only improvement I’d appreciate is to include the name of the country for the cover photo, as it does for the photos inside the book.
