YOU AND ME, BABY

A beautiful ode to new moms and babies learning to adapt to one another as they bond, by New York Times bestselling author Aisha Saeed

Babies bring a world of sweetness into life, from the tops of their adorable little heads to each tiny toe. But their arrival also harkens a whole new era of questions: What's the best way to take care of them? How are we supposed to know what they want? The truth is, we get the hang of this brand-new relationship together, over time--day by day, moment by moment--just like the mamas and babies in this book. From decoding the different types of cries--baby wants to be . . . rocked! No, fed! Or . . . changed?--to soaking in each smile on that wonderful day when the smiles finally start. And while the infant newness fades, other new moments just keep coming--crawling! Standing! Walking! And all the while, we and our babies learn, grow, and make it through together, because we'll be a team forever!

Aisha Saeed also wrote the picture books Bilal Cooks Daal, Zuni and the Memory Tree, and The Together Tree, and her novels include the New York Times bestseller Amal Unbound, Omar Rising, Written in the Stars, Yes No Maybe So (with Becky Albertalli), Diana and the Island of No Return, and Forty Words for Love. She is a Pakistani American writer, teacher, and attorney. She has been featured on MTV, the Huffington Post, NBC and the BBC. As one of the founding members of the We Need Diverse Books campaign, she is helping change the conversation about representation in literature. Aisha lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband and sons.

When she isn't illustrating, you may find her lost in the pages of a good book, trying out a new baking recipe, redecorating her home again, or going on adventures with her family in Atlanta.
