From tiny 'roos to penguin chicks--and humans too!--babies love to be picked up.
Animal mothers of all kinds carry their babies in different ways. Mommy Hippo's baby is on her back. Mommy Lemur's baby is on her tummy. Mommy Monkey's baby is on her tail. And Human Mommy's baby is in her arms. With vibrantly colored illustrations, this simple tale is a warm celebration of motherhood in its many forms.
Jane Cabrera's picture books have received worldwide attention and two Oppenheim Toy Portfolio awards. Her unique style has made her books a must-have for parents, teachers, and librarians for over a decade.

"The art features Cabrera's trademark breezy, blocky, and bold animals in bright and energetic colors that focus children's eye and attention.
