About This Book
Carol Diggory Shields and Lauren Tobia team up to deliver a unique picture book that channels the spirit of blues music to explore the world from a baby's point of view. Through rhythmic text and expressive illustrations, the book articulates the "woes" of infancy, from the discomfort of a wet diaper to the frustration of not being able to communicate or move freely. It's a clever and empathetic portrayal that allows parents to see the humor and poignancy in their baby's daily struggles, while also offering a comforting, lyrical read-aloud experience. Perfect for sharing with young children and new parents alike.
The author gives a tip of the hat to B.B. King in an ode to the blues and babyhood.
