Come meet babies across the animal kingdom and learn their adorable names in this bouncy, rhyming picture book celebration of how—no matter what species—everyone grows!
Puffins have pufflings, porcupines have porcupettes, and echidnas have…puggles?! All these babies start out little, and then, just like humans, they grow and grow and grow. Featuring dozens of different animals, all adorably illustrated by Stephanie Laberis, this book is a vibrant celebration of little ones, growing, and love.
The book ends by drawing super sweet parallels between human babies and animal babies, and how no matter what species, everyone grows! This book is also the perfect gift for animal lovers and little ones that want a gentle introduction to species in the natural world. It would also make a perfect baby shower gift as well. This is a delightful book and I highly recommend it!

This year marks what would have been James Baldwin’s 100th birthday and this is a wonderful book that celebrates his life. It is also the *first-ever* illustrated biography about the legendary writer, orator, activist, and intellectual. Complete with a timeline of his life, an insightful portrait of the world he lived in, and black-and-white photos for kids to compare alongside Law’s rich illustrations, this is the perfect introduction to the multi-hyphenate icon who continues to shape our culture.
