It’s National Breastfeeding Celebration Week, so what better time to review super-cute board book What Does Baby Want? by Tupera Tupera (Phaidon, RRP £8.95). Cut in an unusual circular shape, it tells the story of an unhappy baby and a mama trying to find out what he wants. Is it a teddy? A bouncy ball? A tambourine? No, the baby is hungry and wants to be fed. Brilliantly illustrated by Tokyo-based artists Tatsuya Kameyama and Atsuko Nakagawa (aka Tupera Tupera), the book features a spread of a pair of boobs, which my children found hilarious, but it’s so nice to see breastfeeding normalised in a baby book! It also has close-ups of the baby’s face that babies will be instantly drawn to. A sweet gift for a new nursing mama and her little one.
