This charming first book in Pajama Press’s new Babies Bloom series celebrates the wonder of a baby discovering their five senses and new-found abilities.

A baby can smile before they can speak,
during a cuddle or stroke of their cheek.
A baby can see toys floating above
watch friendly faces filled with pure love.

From noticing light and shadow to grasping tiny fingers and finding their voice, a baby is constantly learning, growing, and discovering something new. Perfect for reading aloud, this story invites parents and little ones to share in the magic of those first remarkable milestones. 

Jennifer Maruno’s rhythmic text captures the beauty of everyday moments, celebrating curiosity, family, growth, and the joyful discoveries of a baby’s earliest days.
