What can Baby say
Baby and Mama are busy every day! Whether theyre saying hello to squirrels in the park or having lunch in the caf, Baby has a lot of sounds to make Ba! Om! Waa! But Baby hasnt yet said that delicious, most-coveted word the one word that every mother loves to hear: Mama.
In this heartfelt picture book, Baby moves through the world, finding his way to Mama through his own exploration of the spoken word. With delightfully cosy illustrations by Mojca Novak, award-winning author Michelle Robinson paints a tender picture of daily life for a mother and baby.
