# Littles: And How They Grow - Board Book

by **Kelly Dipucchio** (Author), **Ag Ford** (Illustrator)

**In the beloved tradition of Robert Munsch's _Love You Forever_ and Emily Winfield Martin's _The Wonderful Things You Will Be_ comes a beautiful rhyming ode to babies from a _New York Times_ bestselling author/illustrator duo--perfect for baby showers, first birthdays, and anytime babies are celebrated.**

In this unforgettable, squeal-filled, tear-inducing love song to babies and how quickly they grow up, author Kelly DiPucchio's heart-tugging rhyme meets the gorgeous, dimple-cheeked, multicultural babies of illustrator AG Ford. With adorable scenes from the busy life of a "little"--peekaboo, feedings, tantrums, giggles--and a final scene that reminds us how they become big kids all too soon, this is the ideal gift for any new parent and their child.
