Global Babies published by Charlesbridge is a beautiful picture book that shows 12 different babies from around the world. I think this book is great by itself or read by a large map of the world, if you have one. Even though a map of something as massive as the earth is a very abstract idea for a toddler, most of them are fascinated by maps. Pairing a map with the book will help toddlers begin to associate the names of the countries where the babies are from to the shapes on a map. Another great thing about this book, should you choose to buy it, is that part of the proceeds are donated to The Global Fund for Children which "supports innovative community based organizations that serve the world's most vulnerable children and youth." You can learn more about the program at www.globalfundforchildren.org. Have a wonderful weekend!
