Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

*Starred Review* Striking in its simplicity and effectiveness, this colorful board book takes into account two fundamental facts. First, babies like to look at faces, particularly the faces of other babies. Second, today's babies will grow up in a world that is, increasingly, a global neighborhood. This introduces young children to their neighbors throughout the world by providing clear photographs of babies in Guatemala, Thailand, Greenland, Mali, the U.S., India, South Africa, Fiji, Peru, Afghanistan, Malawi, Spain, Iraq, Rwanda, and Bhutan. Like Ajmera's earlier books connected with the nonprofit organization Global Fund for Children, such as To Be a Kid (1999) and Be My Neighbor (2004), this title seeks to form a broad, inclusive sense of community. Each page features a single child in a photo shown against a rich, solid background color. Appearing phrase by phrase at the bottom of the pages, the book's complete text reads, "Wherever they live, / wherever they go, / whatever they wear, / whatever they feel, / babies everywhere / are beautiful, / special, / and loved." Attuned to its audience, the book's close-ups emphasize the children's faces and create a feeling of connection between subject and viewer. In an era when board books too often recycle picture book stories intended for older children, here's one that is just right for babies and toddlers. Phelan, Carolyn

Babies love to look at other baby faces. I have several books like this, but this was the 1st to include a wide range of differences with babies looks and even how their dressed. You can almost see the "wow" inside my grandchild's head. It is almost like "Where are they? Can we play?" I like this book!

My babies have all loved this book and was one the first books to really engage them as tiny little babies. The faces of the babies are captivating. Story is lame but I just make stuff up when I "read" it. Love that it shows different cultures and skin tones. It's my number 1 baby shower gift and have purchased this book repeatedly. Highly recommend for babies until 1 year.

I received this book as a gift for my newborn almost 10 years ago; my child LOVED it and we read it a LOT. Now it is a book I gift to any new family and they always mention their babies love it. Simple words, but the images of babies around the world are so captivating, my child would look at their faces for so long. Beautiful book.

I adore the Global Babies board book. The text is very simple but the visuals and the message are key: all babies, no matter where in the world they are born, are wonderful and much loved. Each page has a picture of a baby and the name of the country where the baby lives. The diversity of our world is what makes it beautiful, and this book sweetly conveys this message. I've probably purchased 20 or so copies of this book over the years – one for each friend or family member who has a baby!

5.0 out of 5 stars my 7 month old loves it
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2019

When I put this book and a bunch of her favorite toys in front of her, she always grabs the book. This is the only book she keeps flipping back and forth through (with a little help). I think the fact that babies at that age are fascinated with faces, and that they cannot really relate yet to drawings in other books makes this a winner.
I like the diversity to kids in the book, and even though it shows the babies in traditional clothing, it is not overly stereotypical. Extra points to have two babies from the US: one native american, one white.

Livro belíssimo! Material de primeira qualidade! Fotos encantadoras e que retratam, dentro do espaço e proposta da obra, a diversidade humana com imagens fofas e coloridas das/os pequenas/os. Tem fotografia de dois bebês dos EUA mas um é um menino branco, o outra uma menina com traços orientais, penso que tentou expressar a diversidade do território. Recomendo!
