Book Synopsis

Hello, sun. Good to see you, puppy. What's going on, butterfly? Hello, My World...

When babies are first born, they can't distinguish between colors the same way that older babies can. But studies show that babies can see high-contrast black-and-white shapes and patterns from the very first days of life, and this charming introduction to simple objects found around a baby's world, paired with friendly text and bold, basic patterns, provides an important high-contrast experience for young developing eyes.

Using simple greetings like "What's up, clouds?," "Bonjour, flowers," and "Hola, baby" alongside lovely black-and-white art by Jannie Ho (illustrator of TummyTime: Animal Parade), Hello, My World is the perfect board book for babies just beginning to look around and learn about their world.
