Besos for Baby: A Little Book of Kisses - Jen Arena, Blanca Gomez

Baby wants kisses, and one by one baby gives and receives sweet smooches from her household’s inhabitants. Outside, baby gets kisses from the sun and the wind, and the “flowers send kisses past bees and trees.” In both English and Spanish Mami, Papi, and even the family perro [dog] have Besos for Baby (Little, Brown, $6.99). Author Jen Arena will charm readers with her simple, lyrical sentences, paired with contrasting colors by illustrator Blanca Gomez. This bilingual book is a beautiful addition to a baby’s first library.  Ages 0-3. KLG
