Pros

As can be read at one of online site writing the review about this book, the mother and father, both dressed in jeans, share the parenting time and duties equally, cooking, cuddling, bathing, and tucking in the baby together. A bright golden glow bathes the indoor scenes in a warm light. Details such as the baby’s one tooth and the one-eye-open peek shared with Papi during grace at dinnertime make Ford’s pictures palpably sweet. Brown’s simple text masters the rhythmic cadence of a classic bedtime book, making this a likely new favorite for many families. [2]

At one of interview the author spoke about the reason why she wrote this story. She daid that she was inspired to write it as she was reflecting on the type of love she felt for her children when they were babies, how immensely pure and uncomplicated it was.

Her hope is that the words and images of this love poem will sow themselves into the hearts and minds of her little ones and all of our little ones can blossoming into a visceral belief in the value, humanity, and belovedness of every brown-skinned baby. And child. And human being. [3]
