Description

One of the first things parents do when a new baby arrives is gently swaddle their newborn to keep them warm and cozy, like "a baby burrito."Inspired by that phrase, I Love You, Baby Burrito depicts the love and care that goes into the act of wrapping a little one up: tucking in each piernita, each bracito, everything except the baby's sweet carita.With gentle text, simple Spanish words, and irresistible illustrations, this new baby book is delectable and lasting, a perfect gift for every new addition to the family.
