A hilariously deadpan look at new parenthood - from the perspective of a baby.

"I'm not tired. I'm not tired because I'm a baby. Mom is tired. Mom is tired because I'm a baby."

With humor and empathy, Bob Shea examines the upheaval of life with a baby, as narrated by the new arrival. Repeating the mantra (and effortless explanation) "because I'm a baby," the little narrator takes us through scenes of exhaustion, whining, tight diapers, spilled milk, cat codes, and clumsy female dogs (oops!).

Opposite the simple, clean text, the free-wheeling illustrations of chaos and turmoil, where the exaggerated adult body language is sure to elicit laughs from the older readers. With its charming, openly self-satisfied protagonist, "I'm a Baby" will find its place in bathrooms, nurseries, on parents' shelves, and in the appreciating hands of older siblings as it celebrates the changes that a little child brings, both challenging and full of love.
