This lyrical picture book is a must-have for every sweet brown baby's bookshelf. From sunset to bedtime, two parents lovingly care for their beautiful brown baby: first, they play outside, then it is time for dinner and a bath, and finally a warm snuggle before bed.

This Parents Latina Magazine Best Latino Children's Book of the Year features warm and cozy art by New York Times-bestselling and NAACP-Award-winning illustrator AG Ford. Tameka Fryer Brown's Brown Baby Lullaby is the perfect new baby or baby shower gift.

"The springy rhyme is sweet without being saccharine, and touches of Spanish and neat phrasing add verve. This has high baby shower appeal, but it also has vigor, snap, and charm, to suit the actual kid audience." —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
