Baby book wins children’s award is a BBC article about the Red House Children’s Book Award being awarded to Baby Brains by Simon James. The title of the article is a little misleading because it is a book about a baby rather than for babies, and I don’t like the caption about it being a book about “pushy parents.” I love Baby Brains and so have the kids I have shared it with. I am not surprised that it won an award voted on by children.
