One of the many reasons we love Avery’s pediatrician is because he gives his patients an age-appropriate book at each well-child visit. He advocates for reading at each and every visit. At one of Avery’s appointments during her first year, she chose the book Global Babies. It features babies from around the world. At the time, she really enjoyed reading books with faces. So this book was a natural choice for her.

Two years later, this is still a favorite book. But now Avery can repeat the country names and even can name the countries without being prompted. When we read this book at bedtime tonight, we had to capture her smarts on video!
