Vera B. Williams lives in New York City.

In Her Own Words..."Throughout my childhood I was encouraged to make pictures, tell stories, act, and dance--all of this at a heaven in our New York City neighborhood called the Bronx House.

"Saturdays I painted with a crusading art director, Florence Cane. In her book The Growth of the Child Through Art, I appear under the name Linda. I was sixteen when the book appeared and embarrassed by it. But at age nine I had been totally proud when a painting of mine was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art and I was later shown in the Movietone News explaining to Eleanor Roosevelt its Yiddish title, "Yentas."

"In 1945 I went to Black Mountain College in North Carolina, a unique educational community. I graduated in 1949 in graphic art, which I studied with Josef Albers. Along the way I planted corn, made butter, worked on the printing press, and helped to build the house in which I lived with Paul Williams, a fellow student I married there.

"I wanted that connection of art and community to continue. And it did at the Gate Hill Cooperative, a community we built with other Black Mountain people, a poet, musicians, and potters. I lived and worked there from 1953-1970 (after which I moved to Canada). My children (Sarah, Jenny, Merce) grew up there. For them, we branched out into a school, part of the Surnmerhill movement. The gingerbread houses that led to my first book for Greenwillow I first made in sticky variety at our school. I have always liked to teach and have taught art, cooking, writing, nature study, for nursery age on.

"At forty-six, no longer married, living in a houseboat on the bay at Vancouver, British Columbia, I did my first book. But before that could happen, the fates decreed a stint of cooking and running a bakery at a small school in the Ontario countryside. My love affair with Canada included also a 500-mile trip on the Yukon River. Many of those adventures I put in Three Days on a River in a Red Canoe.

"I also write and draw for adults-short stories, leaflets, and posters. As a lover of children, I try to do what I can to help save their earth from nuclear disaster. This pursuit, too, has added its excitement to my biography, including, in 1981, a month's stay in the federal penitentiary in Alderson, West Virginia (an outcome of a women's peaceful blockade of the Pentagon). Perhaps this experience will some day appear in one of my books. So far I've found children's books a wonderfully accommodating medium where any of my various activities might pop up."

Cute book!

Cute book!
It is important to me that my son has books that actually have a little diversity. When I was searching for some board books that fit the bill I came across this one. Cute little story with repetition that keeps my little one interested.

I buy this book for every baby that comes along. It is a great way for parents to interact with their children. Babies and small children love it. The artwork is amazing, and I love that it includes pictures of children from several ethnic groups. I do wish it was a bit larger; I first saw this book in a paperback edition that was much larger in size, showing off the artwork better. Still, I think a board book is a better medium for small children. I does seem like they could combine the two--and make a larger board book.

Vera B. Williams writes glorious books for children. Purchased her literature for my primary classroom when there were hardly any multi-cultural stories with beautiful illustrations showing children of color. Love, love this book and bought it for my great great nephew so he can see himself in a book and know how much he is cherished.

It took some getting used to. "Catch that baby up" is not a term we would use so it was odd at first.

I got this book for my then 1 yr old and she still loves it at 2yrs. When I read it I have to rock her when I read "swings the baby all around" and kiss her belly/ nibble toes when the story says they did. She has memorized parts of the book and asks for it frequently when it is on rotation.

4.0 out of 5 stars I don't care for it but my daughter loves it!
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2001

I'm torn between what I think of the book and what my daughter thinks. She's 17 months old and wants to read this book daily. I, like other reviewers, found the text a bit awkward at first. Now that I've read it aloud about a million times and added my own twists and actions to accompany the story (kisses on the tummy, toes, eyes) I'm getting lulled into liking the book too. I LOVE that the white grandmother has a black grandbaby and that the daddy is a super dad and that there is an asian mother and daughter. The illustrations don't grab me because they have kind of a messy look, but they obviously grab my girl, because she just stares and stares at each page. So...take what you will from this review. For the amount of fun it's given us, despite my initial misgivings, I think it's worth a try. In fact, I'm buying it for a friend's baby for xmas.

Colorful!
And captures the typical play between moms, dads, grandmas and babies.
The kids in my kindergarten classes loved this book.

And my grandson loved this book...
I personalized the book for him by adding some pages: one with a photo of his grandfather (no grandfather mentioned in the book so I had to put one in my copy ;) taking his grandson on a bike ride and the toddler saying "more." I wrote words with the same rhyming rhythms as the story pages.

And another photo of my grandson as a toddler in his highchair with a face smeared with berry juice, making the hand "sign" for more that is taught to babies nowadays...

Not only do kids like the book, but adults can have a great time if they get into the loving emotions
and the rhythms while reading it.

Nothing but love and goodness. Does not feel off-putting or preachy, as so many children's books these days do; manages to make the world look like a better place in a natural way.
