Baby's Got the Blues Carol Diggory Shields

Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of an infant is really like? In this bluesy story, sometimes being a baby is enough to make you cry.

Oh, baby, wouldn?t it be grand to be a baby? No worries, no woes, the whole world doing everything for you. Like floating down easy street. . . . But wait one guitar-pickin? minute. That?s a lie! Babies can?t talk, can?t walk, can?t even really chew. It?s enough to make the baby in this story blue, blue, blue. So get ready for a sad tale of soggy diapers, mushy meals, and sleepin? behind bars that may make you cry, too ? but more likely will make you giggle! Jamming with illustrator Lauren Tobia, Carol Diggory Shields gives a tip of the fedora to B. B. King in an ode to babyhood that?ll have readers feeling anything but blue.
