From Pura Belpre honoree Angela Dominguez, I Love You Baby Burrito is a modern classic picture book celebrating the act of swaddling a newborn into a "baby burrito." ¡Hola, bebé! Mi hermosa, my beautiful! It’s time to swaddle you--tucking in each piernita, each bracito . . . everything except your sweet carita. Welcome home, mi baby burrito. We promise to love you forever. With gentle text, simple Spanish words, and irresistible illustrations, this new baby book is delectable. PreS-Gr 1—A gentle pastel palette sets the tone for this sweet and simple picture book about a Latinx family welcoming their first baby. Affirmations of love, security, and comfort are expressed in English and Spanish ("This is your home, tu casa, where we promise to keep you safe"). When the Spanish vocabulary isn't explicitly defined in the text, illustrations offer context and a glossary is provided, making this book ideal for a bilingual household or for Spanish language learners. The routine of caring for a newborn is woven throughout the pages, culminating in naptime, in which the baby is snugly swaddled in a blanket like a little burrito. Sleep-deprived new parents may laugh ruefully as the baby in the book goes down without a fuss, but this soothing depiction of newborn life certainly has appeal. It's sparse on details—feeding is mentioned but not shown—but makes an endearing bedtime read for baby and could be a positive way to introduce the concept of a new infant to an older sibling-to-be.
