A hilariously deadpan look at new parenthood – from a baby’s
point of view. I am not sleepy. I am not sleepy because I am a
baby. Mummy is sleepy. Mummy is sleepy because I am a baby. With
humour and sympathy, Bob Shea looks at the chaos of life with a
baby as amiably narrated by the new arrival. Repeating the mantra
(and blithe explanation) “because I am a baby,” the tiny
narrator leads us through scenes of exhaustion, grumpiness, squishy
nappies, spilled milk, cowering kittens and chubby overfed pups
(oopsie!). Playing against the simple, matter-of-fact text are
freewheeling illustrations of mess and mayhem, in which the
grown-ups’ exaggerated body language is sure to send older
children into fits of giggles. With its endearing, unabashedly
self-pleased star, I Am a Baby will find a place at showers, in
nurseries, on parents’ shelves and in the hands of appreciative
big siblings, as it celebrates the changes a little one brings, at
once challenging and full of love.
