I Love You, Baby Burrito

Dominguez offers a gentle bilingual address from two parents to their new bebé, with Spanish words highlighted in green. A parent with upswept auburn hair, light skin, and a pink sweater nestles close a green-hatted newborn in a yellow onesie, as another parent, who has light brown skin and dark hair and wears a blue long-sleeved shirt, brings stuffed animals into a furnished nursery. The padres introduce their infant to the home; speculate on the baby’s face (“This is your delightful carita,/ which I think looks a bit like mine”), fingers, and toes; and finally swaddle the newborn (“So let’s wrap you up,/ my precious gift,/ mi regalo”). Watercolor, colored pencil, and digital illustrations offer soft, expressive visualizations of the spare narrative. A sweet gift for new parents. Back matter features a Spanish-English glossary with pronunciations. Ages 2–5. [em](Jan.) [/em]
