# Baby Be - Hardcover

by **Alison McGhee** (Author), **Sean Qualls** (Illustrator)

**Dads of all varieties bounce and groove with their babies, letting them know the best thing they can be is themselves, in this exuberant picture book ode to the joy of fatherhood.**

_Baby!  
High five!  
Down low!  
You ready?  
Let's go!_

Dads got moves! Dads got grooves. From shoulder rides to sleepy time snuggles, dads have their own special relationships with their babies, their own way of showing their great big love for one another, and those beats, those boogies, those moments together will live in their hearts forever.
