Praise:
“This light-hearted reflection on social media habits is a great tool for starting discussions
with young children.” – 5 Stars, Foreword Reviews
“#BabyLove: My Toddler Life is a fun and timely picture book for 21st century
preschoolers.” – BlueInk Review
“The lyrical way in which the story is told keeps the subject light while reminding the audience
(adults and children alike) the importance of play time over screen time.” – Eileen Caulfield
“With simple rhyming phrases and the author’s enticing illustrations, the volume should
surely appeal to young readers, who have almost certainly been told not to play with a
parent’s phone. But the book works on another level as well: the boy teaches his mother a
valuable lesson about mindfulness. After perusing the old photos, she tells her son: “These
moments with you, / I love and treasure.” This stirring story reminds busy parents that even
though those photos they take show how much they love their children, there’s joy and
wonder in leaving the technology behind. This poignant and entertaining tale about a playful
toddler aimed at young lap readers works on a much deeper level for parents.” - Kirkus
