It's Hard to Be a Baby: A Picture Book
A perfect gift for new parents, with delightful illustrations from Pura Belpré Award-winning artist Juana Medina, Cheryl B. Klein's picture book It's Hard to Be a Baby is a hilarious and heartwarming read-aloud celebrating the challenges, changes, and cheers that come with being a baby 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, when you're 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.
