#BabyLove: My Social Life is
a book based on a baby’s life in today’s digital world and in my opinion the
author NAILED IT. As a society
we are using social media and basically putting everything ‘out there’ for the
world to see. Not a day goes by where we
don’t see a parent with a cell phone taking pictures of their kids and
instantly uploading to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Sometimes though is does get to be a bit too much
and after a while, you have a feeling that those kids are simply fed up with
the whole situation.
This story is told from the point of view of the baby
as he describes his day in front of a camera from the moment he wakes to the
moment he falls asleep. Videos are
captured when he rolls over for the first time and pictures snapped as he is
eating or playing. I love the use of hash tags and the number of ‘likes’ under each picture and thought it added just
the right touch of truth to it all.
#BabyLove:
My Social Life
is probably the cutest and most clever books I have read. As a new grandparent in the social media age,
I can totally relate to this book. Lord
knows whenever my grandson is in my sight, I am constantly taking pictures of
him and in the rare case he actually stays still, those pictures end up on
Facebook and Instagram.
This book is just perfect for moms and their kids as it
is just the right length for a quick read. The
delightful illustrations are bright and cheery and the story is amusing and fun
to read. If you have a baby or young child and you are one of THOSE parents (or grandparents) who simply
love to show off your adorable child on your social media sites, then this book
is for you.
