B is for Baby. B is for Brother. B is for going to see Baba!

One morning after breakfast, Baby’s big brother is getting ready to take the basket of bananas all the way to Baba’s bungalow in the next village. He’ll have to go along the bumpy road, past the baobab trees, birds, and butterflies, and all the way over the bridge.

But what he doesn’t realize is that his very cute, very curious baby sibling has stowed away on his bicycle! Little ones learning about language will love sounding out the words in this playful, vibrantly illustrated story set in West Africa.

• Atinuke and Angela Brooksbank, co-creators of the 2018 Charlotte Zolotow honor book Baby Goes to Market, team up again to bring us the story of a curious young baby who stows away in a basket of bananas on the back of her older brother's motorbike, enjoying an alliterative adventure on their way to visit their Baba 
• Angela Brooksbank's art is full of rich detail and visual humor. Readers are introduced to the sights, smells and sounds of Baby’s community in West Africa—and it’s a real feast for the senses! 
• The playful language, bright and colorful art, and a real sense of adventure are an incredibly appealing package
