Publisher Description
From Pura Belpre honoree Angela Dominguez, I Love You Baby Burrito is a modern classic picture book celebrating the act of swaddling a newborn into a "baby burrito."
¡Hola, bebé! Mi hermosa, my beautiful!
It’s time to swaddle you--tucking in each piernita, each bracito . . . everything except your sweet carita.
Welcome home, mi baby burrito. We promise to love you forever.
With gentle text, simple Spanish words, and irresistible illustrations, this new baby book is delectable.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dominguez offers a gentle bilingual address from two parents to their new beb , with Spanish words highlighted in green. A parent with upswept auburn hair, light skin, and a pink sweater nestles close a green-hatted newborn in a yellow onesie, as another parent, who has light brown skin and dark hair and wears a blue long-sleeved shirt, brings stuffed animals into a furnished nursery. The padres introduce their infant to the home; speculate on the baby's face ("This is your delightful carita,/ which I think looks a bit like mine"), fingers, and toes; and finally swaddle the newborn ("So let's wrap you up,/ my precious gift,/ mi regalo"). Watercolor, colored pencil, and digital illustrations offer soft, expressive visualizations of the spare narrative. A sweet gift for new parents. Back matter features a Spanish-English glossary with pronunciations. Ages 2 5.
