Publisher Description
A New York Times bestseller!
Mama and baby make one incredible team in this new picture book from New York Times bestselling author and Peloton instructor extraordinaire Robin Arzón.
Before I met you, I dreamed of you. This is the story of how we first met.
Ultramarathons. Bike sprints. Squats and deadlifts. Naps. Kitchen dance parties! All of it is in preparation for meeting Pequeno, the “Little One” growing in this strong mama’s belly. From first heartbeats and fluttery kicks to grinning grandparents and that first loud cry -- pregnancy might just be the biggest workout yet! But there's nothing this mom and new baby can't tackle together as a team.
New York Times bestselling author and Peloton Head Instructor Robin Arzón takes readers on sweat-packed journey through motherhood in this affirming and heartwarming celebration of mothers and parents everywhere.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Inspired by the birth of her first child, Arzón, a head instructor at Peloton, pens this autobiographical picture book from the second-person perspective, interweaving Spanish throughout. A hyperspecific narrative and uncontextualized Peloton details feel geared toward a particular audience: "Week by week, our bond was growing, just like you were in Mommy's belly. And just like the number of fans cheering us on the Peloton leaderboard." Digital art by Sonda, rendered in an of-the-moment color palette, captures Arzón's long braid and changing body across spreads, as she continues to lift weights, stretch, and lead Peloton classes throughout the pregnancy: "Welcome to the house of hustle, baby. Rent is due every day." A personal celebrity narrative best suited to caregivers who are also Peloton enthusiasts. Ages 4–8.
