You Are New

Lucy Knisley

A rhyming picture book considers what babies can do when everything is new: sleep, eat, see, taste, touch, and hear. As babies grow, the idea of newness expands with them. Older children may face unfamiliar things to try, games to learn, friends to make, or a new family member to welcome. The book follows babies, toddlers, children, and adults while exploring the many experiences that come with growing and encountering something new.
