Little charts for big hearts!
From beloved chart-maker Michelle Rial, creator of the viral favorite Am I Overthinking This?, comes an inventive picture book that introduces early-learning concepts through colorful charts, graphs, timelines, and diagrams.
Through boldly illustrated pie charts, bar graphs, Venn diagrams, and more, young readers will explore colors, shapes, opposites, feelings, routines, and everyday observations in surprising new ways. Each playful chart transforms familiar concepts into moments of discovery, encouraging children to think, compare, wonder, and laugh along the way.
From favorite things and big emotions to the delightful patterns hidden in daily life, Charts for Babies invites children to see the world through a fresh lens. Rial's signature graphic style and infectious rhyming text make learning feel playful, intuitive, and endlessly engaging.
Perfect for curious preschoolers, budding STEM learners, and the grown-ups who read with them, this unconventional read-aloud is packed with visual surprises that children will want to revisit again and again. A Booklist-recommended favorite for storytimes, classrooms, and family reading, Charts for Babies proves that even the simplest chart can tell a wonderful story.
Praise
“Babies, toddlers, and preschoolers (and, daresay, a few adults) will demand a repeat read of Rial’s charming, playful picture-book treatise on charts and graphs geared toward early learners…This versatile title is a first purchase for children's collections and could be easily used in story times and in classrooms.”
—Booklist
“What I love about this book is that it treats babies as the deep thinkers they already are. Charts for Babies says to your child, ‘I believe you can understand the world’—and that message matters from the very start. And it's genuinely fun to read together.”
