Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

*Starred Review* Striking in its simplicity and effectiveness, this colorful board book takes into account two fundamental facts. First, babies like to look at faces, particularly the faces of other babies. Second, today's babies will grow up in a world that is, increasingly, a global neighborhood. This introduces young children to their neighbors throughout the world by providing clear photographs of babies in Guatemala, Thailand, Greenland, Mali, the U.S., India, South Africa, Fiji, Peru, Afghanistan, Malawi, Spain, Iraq, Rwanda, and Bhutan. Like Ajmera's earlier books connected with the nonprofit organization Global Fund for Children, such as To Be a Kid (1999) and Be My Neighbor (2004), this title seeks to form a broad, inclusive sense of community. Each page features a single child in a photo shown against a rich, solid background color. Appearing phrase by phrase at the bottom of the pages, the book's complete text reads, "Wherever they live, / wherever they go, / whatever they wear, / whatever they feel, / babies everywhere / are beautiful, / special, / and loved." Attuned to its audience, the book's close-ups emphasize the children's faces and create a feeling of connection between subject and viewer. In an era when board books too often recycle picture book stories intended for older children, here's one that is just right for babies and toddlers. Phelan, Carolyn

    We love this book so much, we bought a second copy when the first was lost. The kids love seeing babies from all over the world, and hearing the names of the countries. The older children’s curiosity is piqued, and we end up looking up the countries, their geographies, and other information. This small book is a great way to open up kids to the wide world and it’s diverse people. I hope that a portion of the proceeds actually goes toward helping people in need.

    The global baby books are my son’s (9 mo old now) favorite books! After buying this one, I got the bedtime and the playtime books in their line as well. He loves looking at the different beautiful babies and the text is simple enough to keep his attention even when he is getting sleepy. He flips through these books independently often and they are holding up well to my teething baby.

  • Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2012
    I bought this book for my daughter after visiting her daycare, and seeing one of the teachers read the related American Babies (A Global Fund for Children Book) (Global Fund for Children Books) book. I decided to go with Global Babies just to spice things up a bit in the costume department. Anyhow, what amazed me was how fascinated all of the daycare babies (ages 9 months - 1 year) were with the photos. 4 of these very young children crawled over and planted themselves on top of the teacher just staring intensely at the friendly faces. It's so rare for the children to demonstrate such focus, particularly all at the same time. There's something about the friendly baby faces in this book that they find fascinating. For the record, my daughter seems especially taken with the Greenland baby in his/her furry hood, the Indian baby with her big eyes and bright shirt, and the big-eyed Rwandan baby. The American baby seems to be her least favorite! I think her preferences have something to do with how big and bright their eyes look in the pictures.

    The book itself isn't very long. I was hoping that the pictures of the babies would be bigger, possibly the full page. That said, my 11 month old loves looking at the different babies in the books and enjoys pointing at all the pictures. I'm glad I bought it for her.

    Babies love to look at other baby faces. I have several books like this, but this was the 1st to include a wide range of differences with babies looks and even how their dressed. You can almost see the "wow" inside my grandchild's head. It is almost like "Where are they? Can we play?" I like this book!

    Livro belíssimo! Material de primeira qualidade! Fotos encantadoras e que retratam, dentro do espaço e proposta da obra, a diversidade humana com imagens fofas e coloridas das/os pequenas/os. Tem fotografia de dois bebês dos EUA mas um é um menino branco, o outra uma menina com traços orientais, penso que tentou expressar a diversidade do território. Recomendo!

    Our son absolutely loves this book. He's suddenly obsessed with this book and keeps wanting to read this book over and over! He loves the pictures of other babies.

    He's also in a biting phase, and the book is not the strongest of board books, which means we may have to purchase another copy!
