Our Gorgeous Baby - by Smriti Prasadam-Halls (Board Book)

About the Book

"Baby's eyes are not brighter than the sun. And she isn't as light as a feather-she weighs a ton! Less princess than clown, with a voice a little more screechy than angelic, this baby may keep their family up at night, but no one could love baby more. With lyrical humor, Smriti Prasadam-Halls and Eve Coy reflect the routine chaos a new baby brings, showing that even the noisiest, smelliest, and messiest of babies poses no challenge to the bonds of affection that smitten families-older siblings included!-have with their gorgeous babies."--
