In each place, a mom, dad, grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin, or sibling lovingly carries a baby. <p/> With various family configurations and settings ranging from a busy outdoor market to a high-rise apartment kitchen, the book wholeheartedly celebrates diversity. Gorgeous cut-paper collage art adds warmth and brightness, and brings the lyrical text to life. Repetition of the phrase "Upsy-daisy" on each spread lends familiarity, and reminds readers that love for a little one is a universal feeling.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A wonderful collection of vignettes from around the world...a global story of life and love.-- "CanLit for Little Canadians"<br><br>An utterly charming and beautifully illustrated book that celebrates diversity in all forms while simultaneously exploring cultures around the world.-- "Canadian Review of Materials"<br><br>Inclusivity is a hallmark of this book... A celebration of baby love as it's carried out all over the world.-- "Kirkus"<br><br>The book makes a clear and pointed effort to promote all kinds of diversity and depict a variety of cultures in a beautiful and respectful light...the concept is very clever, and the three-dimensional cut-paper collage work is exquisitely textured and boldly colored. Barron's past awards are clearly warranted.-- "Booklist"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b> Susan Hughes</b> is the author of over 30 children's books, including <i>Off to Class</i> and <i>Making Canada Home</i>.
