Publisher's synopsis
Some babies have a mum and a dad.
Some babies have a mum, and a dad who lives elsewhere.
Some babies have two mums. Or two dads.
Our baby has a mum and a dad and a big sister – me!
Babies come in all shapes and sizes, and from all sorts of families.
Some babies have milky mouths, snotty noses, tufty hair, or no hair at all. Some babies like going to cafes, or to the park. Some like playing at home.
Everyone of them is different, and every one of them is special.
