    A literary play on a common baby game, encompassing the paradox of babyhood, by Caldecott-winning author Liz Garton Scanlon.

    The universal game, “How big is baby? So big!” provides inspiration for this playful and poignant literary text contrasting the physical smallness of a baby with the largeness of their presence and importance. Written in bouncing, masterful rhyme, Liz Garton Scanlon’s words will roll off the tongues of adoring parents and caregivers as they snuggle their littlest readers.
