Purchase options and add-ons

With an irresistible rhyming text and delightfully endearing illustrations, here is an exuberant celebration of playing, sleeping, crawling, and of course, very noisy babies doing all the wonderful things babies do best.

Every day, everywhere, babies are born. They're kissed and dressed and rocked and fed—and completely adored by the families who love them.

New York magazine's The Strategist chose Everywhere Babies as one of the "Best (Nonobvious) Baby Books to Bring to a Shower." As The Strategist stated: "Babies love looking at other babies, and this book is filled with all kinds of adorable ones." Plus the book's art is "really layered and thoughtful in representing all kinds of babies and parents." The Strategist's kids loved the "really pleasing cadence and rhyme structure."

Marla Frazee's popular books include two Caldecott Honor winners, the Clementine series, and The Boss Baby, among many others.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

"Every day, everywhere, babies are born," writes Meyers (Hello Jenny), as Frazee (The Seven Silly Eaters) presents the first in a series of wry, elegant watercolor vignettes: a row of multiracial, swaddled newborns whose expressions range from "How did I get here?" to utter boredom. The pages that follow prove that ministering to babies is all-pervasive as well. "Every day, everywhere," as each spread announces in hand-lettered display type, babies are either collecting kisses, getting schlepped, exhausting their parents (a state that Frazee portrays with knowing and hilarious precision), toddling or growing. Rhyming text in smaller type elaborates on each theme: e.g., to "Every day, everywhere, babies are carried " Meyers adds, "in backpacks, in front packs, in slings, and in strollers, in car seats, and bike seats, and on Daddy's shoulders." As Meyers builds to the expected coda (babies being "loved for trying so hard, for traveling so far, for being so wonderful... just as they are!"), it's Frazee's canny wit that tips the work away from sentimentality to evoke a wide range of emotions. A charming paean to the adoration (and accessories) that families lavish on their offspring. Ages 2-5.

From School Library Journal

PreS-Young listeners will appreciate this gentle rhyme that portrays babies with their families and friends being drawn into everyday activities. The lilting text recites the eating, sleeping, and leisure habits of a winsome cast of multicultural tykes, but, most of all, it impresses on readers how much they are loved. Expressive, animated pencil-and-watercolor paintings depict a full range of infant motions and emotions that bring this ensemble to life. The clear double-page spreads usually contain one large or several smaller scenes against lots of white space. The facial expressions in several scenes are particularly captivating and endearing. This delightful homage to the youngest among us should be a hit at toddler storytimes, and the book will be great for individual sharing because there is a certain amount of very basic seek-and-find potential fun to be had in poring over the illustrations. Everywhere Babies should be in every preschool collection.-Rosalyn Pierini, San Luis Obispo City-County Library, CA

    5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect gift for a new parent...or a one- or two-year-old's birthday
    Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    "Everywhere Babies" is as close to a perfect board book as I've found. For years, we read this book every night to my children, and the rhyme and rhythm of this book is so great, we memorized it easily (useful for exhausted parents!). The rhyming works without some of the tortured grammar twisting that many authors have to resort to.

    This is not a story book, more of a concept book, and the author leaves plenty of room for the illustrator to take the book to the next level. The illustrations by Marla Frazee are adorable, and reflect a wide range of babies and their adults. There's enough going on in the vignettes that even a toddler can stay engaged in this book, and is a book that would be ideal to keep around for an older child learning to read. The illustrations provide plenty to discuss with a curious child. There are representations of many races and family situations, which is a lovely and welcome part of this book.

    This book is a great baby shower gift for parents, or even for a one- or two-year-old's birthday. Wrap it up with a swaddle blanket and you are all set!

    Babies love to look at pictures of other babies. Buy this baby book and your 0-18 month-old will be delighted. It's sweet, gentle, and features babies of all different races and ethnicities, so your little one is sure to find his or her twin. And parents won't get tired of the low-key, approachable text either!

    5.0 out of 5 stars There is no LGBTQ imagery and no reason for anyone anywhere to ban it
    Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this book for my twin grandsons who are two years old. It is an adorable picture book that depicts infants to preschool aged children doing things and going places with their parents. In one illustration, there is a street full of adults, including two males walking together. They could be a father and son or two brothers. They are not necessarily gay. In another picture, there are two adult males sitting next to each other at the park, not too close or anything. One of adult males is holding a baby in his lap, the other is holding a pair of shoes that obviously do not belong to the baby, and probably belong to a little girl on a play structure in stocking feet. The two males could be two friends or just two guys talking about sports while their kids play play at the park. In both pictures, the males could also be gay, I suppose, but there are so many other ways you could interpret their relationship that it seems a stretch to say it has LGBTQ imagery.

    5.0 out of 5 stars a family favorite
    Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    This is a beautiful book that I loved reading to my children and that I have given many times as a baby gift. One of the things I liked (that other reviewers have not always appreciated) is the diversity of those pictured in the book -- different ages, different races.

    As some negative reviews have pointed out, there are some men or women seen together -- these can be but need not be interpreted as same-sex couples. If you are not ready to explain to your children that some babies have two daddies (which is a fact about the actual world) then just say those guys sitting together are friends watching their kids play at the playground. What's the big deal? But for those of us who want our children's books to reflect real life -- which has a variety of people in it, some of whom look like you and some of whom do not -- this is a great book.

    This is our favorite baby book! It is sweet, and smart, and it isn’t tiresome to read (which is very important, because when your baby chooses a favorite book, you’ll be reading it over and over... and over again). The lovely illustrations present a good representation of babies in different cultures, in different family situations, etc. in a natural way. We’ve been reading this book for over a year now and my daughter has learned so much from it. She is 20 months and she claps and sings when those words come up in the book, and even has parts of it memorized. We now get this book for all our friends as well.

    My 19 month old absolutely loves this book! There’s so much on every page to be curious about. She’s all about her baby dolls and loves babies so much right now so that makes it even more fun. I bought it actually in search of books to prepare her to be a big sister in a few months. Definitely would have bought for her sooner had I known about it. I think she’ll love it for years.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite book for children expecting a new sibling
    Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    This book has become a keepsake at our house, even now that the "baby" is 6 years old and the big sister 10. Many childrens' books about babies focus on the potential jealousy and strife caused by the new infant in the house. This one focuses on all the fascinating, joyous and often hilarious details of baby-ness, from what they wear to how they eat and get around, and how they vocalize. The illustrations are so funny and sweet, and filled with a very satisfying array of grown ups that look real - all sizes, genders, colors and ages. As the book progresses (the original full length version, I haven't seen the board book) the babies grow and finally reach a beautiful first birthday. I think this book is wonderful for kids about to become older siblings, because it gives them endless details to observe as they take notice of babies "everywhere" in the world around them, and so much fun to anticipate when their new baby comes. I say that, and yet when I tried to give our copy to a family in just that situation, the two big kids in our house refused to part with it. Hence my purchase of a new one.

    This is my absolute favourite book to read to my child. It has a few American-isms which might annoy some, but I just change the words (e.g diaper). It's a lovely story about all of the things babies get up to and do. My child loves looking at the illustrations which represent a wide range of family types and care-givers who are mentioned in the story too. If you are a family who is not a "typical" make up it is a great thing to see your family represented this book - not just for yourself, but for your kids too. Even if you aren't, what a great way to introduce your children to diverse family structures and ethnicity.
