Hello, Beautiful You! (a Bright Brown Baby Board Book)

"Taking time for sweet domestic scenes, the Pinkneys bring reassurance to an ordinary day, and toddlers will feel embraced."

A Parents Magazine Best Board Books for Babies, Toddlers, and Preschoolers of 2021

"In a five-section treasury of poems... married collaborators Davis Pinkney and Pinkney (Loretta Little Looks Back) speak directly to children of color via joyful nursery-style rhymes and glad images of brown-skinned babies and adults with various skin tones... A radiant evocation of love."

"The universality of the big and small world of the baby -- everything is so new, but the sensation of being coddled is soothingly familiar -- makes this a book for all families to share and savor."

"The Pinkneys, prolific creators of books for children, offer a guide for caregivers to affirm their babies' senses of self-worth... the combination of encouraging text aimed at adults and simple text aimed at babies extends a hand to new parents wanting to tell their little ones how precious they are... A lovely gift and guide for new parents."

"Brightly colored, energetic illustrations, rendered in gouache, acrylic, and india ink, depict Black and brown family members in various combinations... Affirming and inviting, this book will be well used in baby storytimes and family read-alongs"
