I love All of Me feature a multicultural cast of babies. The text identifies different body parts. It's a perfect fit for baby storytime.

2 words: Baby Storytime. This book is perfect for this or lapsit reading. Adorable, diverse illustrations.

SO CUTE.  I love the happy, bashful little babies illustrated, and I adore the affirmations.  Every baby in each illustration is different in terms of race, hair, clothing, expression, and it's incredible.  This board book is happy and fun, making it perfect for a daytime story and even better to have it lying around for kids to peruse.

Each individual spread in the book is fun and filled with love, encouraging the self-love that this book centers around, but the progression of the art is particularly special. Early spreads focus on the individual features mentioned by the written text, but as the book continues we see more and more of the body. The effect is both that the text trusts the reader more and more to pick up on what specific feature is being celebrated with fewer and fewer visual clues -- which seems like an early literacy step  for artistic literacy -- and also that we see more and more how the body as a whole comes together in a perfect way to help us live and love ourselves and others.

I want to buy this for every baby! This would make a good toddler time book too.

Involves body parts and movement. Seems like there's typos though.

Yessss. A self-love baby book that focuses on what the parts of our body do for us (I love my arms that squeeze! I love my bendy knees!) and doesn't shy away from loving that baby fat (I love my chubby cheeks! I love my scaredy squeeks! ... I love my tummy bump! I love my waggle rump!)!
