for Sweet Baby Coming by Eloise Greenfield and Jan Spivey Gilchrist
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
An African-American family looks forward to the arrival of a new baby in this board book written from the point of view of their young daughter who appears to be about two years old. Greenfield's simple verses capture the sense of excitement, curiosity and, yes, a bit of trepidation on the part of the soon-to-be older sister. (Ages 6 months-2 years)
