Baby Says

Baby Says

Written and illustrated by John Steptoe

Ages 0–3 Board book

Baby wants to play with his big brother—but big brother is busy building! With just a few words, this board book follows two brothers as they find their way from little annoyances to playing together.

Why We Love It

This story makes room for both the frustration and the affection of sibling life. Two Black brothers take center stage in an everyday moment that little ones will recognize.

Things to Know

This story focuses on everyday life with a younger sibling, rather than preparing for a baby’s arrival. With very little text, there’s plenty of room to talk about the pictures and how each brother might be feeling.
