Praise for It's Hard to Be a Baby

***STARRED REVIEW*** "There’s something for everyone in these gently funny pages: warmhearted solace for new parents, support for freshly minted siblings, and tender empathy for the very newest among us."
Publishers Weekly

Adults and many preschoolers will certainly smile with recognition at the experiences portrayed...New big siblings will get a kick out of this—as will first-time parents.
Kirkus Review

Medina's whimsical illustrations explode with cuteness and personality...It's Hard to Be a Baby is a darling choice for older siblings and young children who are interested in babies.
