123. Hello, World!


Hello, World. A High Contrast Book for Babies. Amelia Hepworth. Illustrated by Cani Chen. 2022. [January] 10 pages. [Source: Library]

First sentence: Sun smiles. Hello! Flower beams. Hello! Bee buzzes. Hello! 

Hello, World is a high contrast book for babies. The illustrations are high contrast, obviously. Mainly black and white illustrations with varying "bursts" of bright, bold colors on every page. Very simple as well. Perfectly matched to the simple text. 

The theme is....saying hello....until it isn't...until it is time for bed.

Hello, World [and it's companion books] are just about perfect for the youngest and littlest of readers. It is never "too early" to start a book habit with little ones. Parents can read aloud to little ones from the start. The simple illustrations and text are great for this young(est) age group. Little ones can grow into turning the pages on their own...and "tasting" the book as well. I do like the tactile features on the cover of this one. Very pleasing to the touch. Remember little ones explore the world through touch. 

I do recommend for little ones.
