Through a steamy rain forest in Brazil, along a river in Papua New Guinea, across a frozen inlet in the arctic, this book takes young children on a far-reaching journey to discover how babies worldwide are carried and what they see from their unique vantage points. "This is an exquisite book, for the detailed, folk-art style gouache illustrations, its overall design, and the wealth of information it includes."--Kirkus Reviews
