"There’s something for everyone in these gently funny pages: warmhearted solace for new parents, support for freshly minted siblings, and tender empathy for the very newest among us." ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A great gift for new parents, this picture book is a funny and heartwarming celebration of the challenges, changes, and cheers that come with being 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 from Pura Belpré Award–winning artist Juana Medina, 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.

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!
