About the book
Hey there, babies.
I hear you.
Everyone thinks your lives are easy.
But you and I know the truth . . .
It’s hard to be a baby!
You’re always being picked up and put down. You have to tell people everything — when you’re hot or hungry — but they don’t always get what you need. And some of your clothes are REALLY goofy. But hang in there, babies — everything will get better!
With a wise and surprising narrator and charmingly expressive illustrations, this new classic will help exhausted parents remember that their babies, too, are figuring everything out for the first time — and find a few laughs along the way. It’s the perfect picture book for caregivers and their little ones to enjoy together.
