From bestselling honoree Angela Dominguez, I Love You, Baby Burrito is a board book conversion of a modern classic that celebrates the arrival of a new baby.

From Pura Belpré honoree Angela Dominguez, a modern classic picture book celebrating the act of swaddling a newborn into a "baby burrito."

Description

One of the first things parents do when a new baby arrives is gently swaddle their newborn to keep them warm 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 and lasting, a perfect gift for every new addition to the family.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

2024 Bank Street Best Book of the Year. Praised as a playful and loving depiction of life in a Latinx family by Kirkus Reviews (starred review), it is described as an adorable and adoring portrait of a newborn's first day by Horn Book. Publishers Weekly calls it a sweet gift for new parents, while the School Library Journal highlights its comfort and love, noting it as a welcome addition to picture book collections, especially bilingual ones.
