Description

From bestselling artist Angela Dominguez, I Love You, Baby Burrito is an essential new-baby board book that uses simple Spanish to tell a newborn how much they're loved.

One of the first things parents do when a new baby arrives is gently swaddle their newborn to keep them warm and cozy, like "a baby burrito."

Inspired by that phrase, I Love You, Baby Burrito depicts the love and care that goes into the act of wrapping a little one up: tucking in each piernita, each bracito, everything except the baby's sweet carita.

With gentle text, simple Spanish words, and adorable illustrations, this new baby board book is delectable and lasting, a perfect gift for every new addition to the family.
