What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and grounded in reality. It addresses diversity through its illustrations rather than its text, showing same-sex couples and diverse racial groups in a natural, everyday context. The approach is inclusive and celebratory.
Ideal Reader
A toddler who is about to become a big brother or sister and needs to see that all babies have similar needs, or a preschooler in a diverse urban environment who enjoys spotting familiar sights from their neighborhood.
