Our Gorgeous Baby cover

A charmingly funny picture book that celebrates the unconditional love a family has for their slurpy, burpy and boisterous new baby!

Smriti was inspired to write Our Gorgeous Baby after reading Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130. With lyrical humour the story reflects the routine chaos a new baby brings upon a family and – in so doing – shows that even the slurpiest, burpiest, noisiest, smelliest and messiest of babies (multiple night-time wakings included) is no challenge whatsoever to the unbreakable bond and endless and unconditional love, care and affection a family has for their gorgeous baby.

Written throughout in rhyme the book is beautifully illustrated. These support the text perfectly, and young children will adore following them… It has a timeless quality to it and portrays the burping, dirty nappies and sleepless nights which accompany the arrival of a new baby. It is done in a loving and charming way that parents and children alike will enjoy. * Left on the Shelf *
With poetic humour and joyous illustrations, this highly relatable tale reflects the reality of family life when looking after a beautiful but rather busy baby. Dazzling colours and charming details (keep an eye on the devoted Dalmatian dog!) abound in a comforting story that little ones will want to return to again and again. * Inclusive Books for Children *
