Babies appear in many places: looking in mirrors, spending time at the beach, playing in water, and relaxing on mats. Their days include playing, dancing, sharing, eating, and sleeping. Told in rhyme, the book gathers these everyday moments into a portrait of babyhood, following little ones through activities, meals, rest, and time with others.

How Do You Dance?Thyra Heder, illustrated by Thyra HederA narrator asks how people dance and introduces many ways to move, from bopping and flitting to scrunching. A boy insists that he does not dance, even as the story suggests dancing in everyday places and for different reasons: after eating something tasty, while waiting, or to lift one’s spirits. Animals and adults join the examples.
