The Every Baby Book: Families of Every Name Share a Love That’s Just the Same

by Frann Preston-Gannon

The Every Baby Book is a cute, inclusive board book celebrating the things that families of all kinds share—and the love at the heart of each one.

Every baby’s day is different, but lots of first experiences are shared, too. The youngest reader will delight in recognizing their own daily routine unfold with every turn of the page, as we follow six families from breakfast until bedtime. Whether a child has two dads, two moms, or a single parent, this book forms a snapshot of daily life that 21st-century families of every kind will recognize and relate to.

Adorable artwork and read-aloud rhyming texts from bestselling author/illustrator Frann Preston-Gannon will allow babies and parents everywhere to share a giggle at bedtime.

Reviews

[Jthe YSLibrarian]

There's a whole lot of racial and orientation diversity in this book. I love that it shows the wonderful times and the not-so-wonderful times (a baby's diaper leaking in the bed, a poop explosion while a diaper is being changed, a toddler who refuses to leave the park, etc.). Those latter ones are not often depicted but they are certainly a part of life!

This book is very sweet and shows families of all different cultural backgrounds. Each of these families have a baby, and this book shows that all babies are the same, and each family loves their baby the same way. This book represents that everyone should love and treat everyone the same, because at one point or another, we were all babies that needed love and care.

A day in the life of babies and the the families they live in. Provides a wide example of many types of families.
