Being a baby can be very confusing. Existence comes as a complete surprise, and there's an awful lot to learn when you arrive in the world. Everything is unfamiliar. What are hands? What is time? What is human civilization all about? For an adult trying to explain it all, it's hard to know where to begin. That's where this book comes in. Illustrator Ellen Burch and writer Nathan J. Robinson have prepared a handy monologue that can be used to introduce any newborn baby to the strange phenomenon of being alive. They give you an all-purpose speech that helps the bewildered baby understand who they are, what life is, and what they can expect to find in this big, weird world of ours. Beautifully illustrated, adorable, and amusing, the book should be in the hands of every new parent.
