E and N here! Our ima (Hebrew for mom) said we could tell you what books we love on her blog, so that other people know what books to get babies (0-3yo). We give smiles to books we like.
😊😊😊
We give 3 smiles (out of 2 smiles) to the board book, Global Babies by Maya Ajmera. We love books with photos of baby faces and this one even makes us gurgle with delight.
The book tells us that no matter what, every baby is special and loved. The pictures show babies from all over the world! We love seeing babies of many beautiful colors.
Our ima even bought another book from the collection (Global Fund for Children Books), Global Baby Bedtime by Maya Ajmera. She is going to get us more from this collection as we grow.
I enjoy Todd Parr books. Sometimes I forget just how much in the big world of children's literature. I believe Todd Parr conveys an important message in all his books through text and pictures. His text is simple and yet he conveys important messages for children to hear. To me, his illustrations convey all the brightness of the world.
I have read many of his books, but recently I've checked out two for E and N -- The Brother Book and I Love the Earth (new title and cover for The Earth Book). I am providing the review for I Love the Earth instead of E and N because even though they might not understand the concept yet, I want to instill within my children the meaning of "tikkun olam" (repair of the world).
Parr sets up examples of what he loves about the Earth and reasons why so that young children can understand. He makes connections with stars and keeping the sky clear and animals and wanting them to be safe all over the world. The book could end up leading to an important discussion on one of many aspects of ways we could help make a difference--oceans, food for everyone, even shopping at the local farmer's market.
My hope is that you take some time to check out more of Todd Parr's books. His newest, Love the World, just came out a couple of weeks ago.
