Upsy-Daisy, Baby depicts ten places around the world from
Afghanistan to northern Canada, Peru to West Africa. Babies are carried in
slings, on shoulders, in backpacks, on hips, in baskets, and in loving arms.
A mom, dad, grandparent,
aunt, uncle, cousin, or sibling lovingly carries a baby from place to
place.
Upsy-Daisy, Baby is a celebration of cultural diversity focusing on how babies from around the world are carried by their loved ones. Although the phrase, “Upsy Daisy” is used on every page, the illustrations show just how unique and special different cultures are around the globe. We loved the cut-paper collage illustrations! Each page tells not only a story in written
word but the illustrations share much more of the culture being
represented. The colors have a warm tone
and easily draw the reader into each page.
