Description

A truly cosy mother and baby picture book that celebrates the magic of a baby’s first word and the joy of everyday family moments. Perfect for babies and toddlers!

Baby and Mama are busy every day, whether they’re saying hello to squirrels in the park, having lunch in the café, having bubbly baths, or visiting Grandma on the bus. Baby has a lot of sounds to make – Ba! Om! Waa! But Baby hasn’t yet said that one word that every mother loves to hear: Mama. Can Baby say, Mama?

This adorable-sized picture book is an ideal gift for newborn celebrations, baby showers, christenings, mother’s day, and first birthdays, and perfectly sized for buggies, nappy bags and nursery shelves!

- Celebrates an important baby milestone of FIRST WORDS!

- Simple, rhyming text with happy repetition supports early language development.

- Perfect for reading aloud with very young children (0–3).

- Encourages recognition of familiar caregivers and routines.

- A dream picture book pairing: best-selling author Michelle Robinson paints a tender picture of daily life for a mother and baby with delightfully sweet illustrations from Mojca Novak.
