Walk on, baby...

Horn Book is a respected review source, but I love it for its features.  Dr. Betty Carter, an HB reviewer, tipped me off to "What Makes a Good Graduation Gift" in the May/June 2010 issue (shown below). 

As a result, I am in love with Marla Frazee's wonderful book, Walk On! : A Guide for Babies of All Ages.

While certainly good for a graduation gift, Frazee's adorable baby would also provide a bright note for a friend who is going through a rough patch, as one of our librarians noted.

Walk On! is perfect for the baby in us all, "Remember to breathe" ; "Go and and cry if it helps" ; and "Don't look down at your feet. Look toward where you want to go." Delightful advice on any day.
