Whoa, Baby, Whoa!

A parent would reach for this book when their toddler is on the cusp of a major physical milestone, like crawling or taking those first wobbly steps. It is the perfect choice for a family looking to celebrate the daily physical triumphs and the rhythmic energy of a child discovering what their body can do. This book captures the joyful, rhythmic movement of a baby exploring their world, from bouncing in a lap to finding their footing. Through Grace Nichols' lyrical poetry, it highlights themes of pride, independence, and the loving encouragement of a family. It is most appropriate for babies and toddlers ages 0 to 3, offering a mirror for their own developmental journey while providing parents a way to voice their excitement and support during this high-energy stage of early childhood.
