AlbakiReads Editorial

A baby’s journey to Baba

Built around the repeated “B is for…” pattern, this picture-book tale links early word play with a sibling’s trip from one village to another. The older brother sets out by bicycle with a basket of bananas, while his curious baby sibling secretly comes along. The route through a West African setting—past a bumpy road, baobab trees, birds and butterflies, and over a bridge—gives the story a clear journey structure and plenty of details to name and notice. Family connection and the bond between siblings sit alongside the book’s focus on language discovery.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Babies and preschoolers beginning to explore words and sounds
  • Young children who enjoy stories about siblings and family
  • Adults seeking a read-aloud with West African setting details

Book overview

"A circular tale of family love with visual rewards. . . . There's no denying the joy in this book." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

B is for Baby. B is for Brother. B is for going to see Baba!

One morning after breakfast, Baby's big brother is getting ready to take the basket of bananas all the way to Baba's bungalow in the next village. He'll have to go along the bumpy road, past the baobab trees, birds, and butterflies, and all the way over the bridge. But what he doesn't realize is that his very cute, very curious baby sibling has stowed away on his bicycle! Little ones learning about language will love sounding out the words in this playful, vibrantly illustrated story set in West Africa.
