The Global Fund For Children

American Babies

American Babies, The Global Fund for Children’s new board book, celebrates the joy and hope of babies in the United States. Light and curiosity shine on the faces of American babies as they engage in play, explore their surroundings, giggle, and are snuggled in love. Readers will see babies of different backgrounds, from the heartland to the seashore, in their homes and at the park. American Babies captures the American spirit and teaches children from an early age that they are an important part of a global community.

For ages 0–5

“There are babies with blond hair, red hair, curly hair … and no hair…. There are babies with every shade of skin and every shape of eye … spring, summer, fall and winter babies.”
— A Year of Reading

“Their expressive faces and emotions are as varied as their family backgrounds, surroundings, and activities…”
