A review of Bright Brown Baby: A Treasury by Andrea David Pinkney and illustrated by Brian Pinkney

Find all the joy of the Bright Brown Baby board books in this beautiful picture book treasury! Bright Brown Baby: A Treasury by Andrea David Pinkney and Brian Pinkney is bursting with warmth & bounce. These mini stories about peek-a-boo, counting-to-love, and baby stars all shine so bright. They read like mini love songs to little ones.

The illustrations sweep across the page in large brush strokes, with cozy pictures of caregivers and babies. Reds, yellows, purples, browns, blues all invite the reader into each little vignette. The words flow off the page and roll of the tongue: “Count to love. Wide eyes to see. L-O-V-E, you and me!” They also include words of complete love and validation: “Up, over, around, and through. Child, we believe in you.”

Hoping you pick up this sweet collection and enjoy cozy reading moments with your little one. For other books by the Andrea Davis & Brian Pinkney team try: Sojourner Truth’s Step-Stomp Stride, Ella Fitzgerald: The Tale of a Vocal Virtuosa, and Martin Rising: Requiem for a King.
