Perfect!
Our son (13 months) adores the beautiful faces of the babies in this book.

As the mom of a child adopted transracially, I love the kids of all colors and ethnic backgrounds.

I'll be giving this book as a gift to all the little ones I know.

We love these babies!
Even though I have read this book over and over and over again to my granddaughter throughout her first year of life, I always love looking at the beautiful babies from around the world. Babies in colorful clothing from such countries as Mali, Afghanistan, Iraq, Spain, Peru, Guatemala, South Africa, and India, delight the readers each time the book is opened. This is a great way to travel the world while sitting in a chair snuggling with baby.

Beautiful Babies!
My eight-month-old son loves looking at baby photos now. This is a good choice, with photos from Guatemala, Thailand, Greenland, Mali, India, South Africa, Fiji, Peru, Afghanistan, Malawi, Spain, Iraq, Rwanda, Bhutan, and USA. The two USA photos are of a white boy and a Native American girl. I am still looking for a book with good mixed-race photos.

Loved by my 10 Month Old
We bought this book when my daughter was 4 months old, but it is only recently that she started picking it out for me to read to her. She laughs at the different baby faces, especially the boy sticking his tongue out, and it is one book that she wants to look at over and over. I love how diverse the book is, and the message is great. It would be a nice book for those doing an international adoption. Two pacifiers up!

Wonderful for any collection
This book has beautiful photographs and a decent text as well. I bought it for a daycare, and now I plan on ordering one for my son as well...

beautiful babies!!
Very sweet, diverse and cute. This is a good book for really little ones, as in under 2 yrs. The pictures are sweet, but the story is not deep enough to capture the attention of an older child for that long. Each page has a picture of a child from a different part of the world and says where he/she is from. My boys enjoy looking at the pictures a lot!

going global
I really want to encourage a diverse veiw of the world and allow my daughter to know we are all the same no matter the color of our skin or the place of our birth and this book is very sweet and allows me to do that.
