I Love You, Baby Burrito
"From Pura Belpré honoree Angela Dominguez, a modern classic picture book celebrating the act of swaddling a newborn into a "baby burrito." One of the first things new parents learn is how to swaddle their newborns to keep them safe and cozy, "like a baby burrito." Inspired by that phrase, I Love You, Baby Burrito depicts the love and care that goes into the act of wrapping a little one up: tucking in each piernita, each bracito, everything except the baby's sweet carita. With gentle text, simple Spanish words, and irresistible illustrations, this new baby book is delectable." -- publisher
