I highly recommend everyone to read this children's picture book because it is absolutely beautiful to read about babies and the positive and innocence energy to give off to people. Keith Haring believes babies are one of the positive images you can capture to the human being eyes and it reflects tremendously in his art. I remember the paintings of pregnant women, babies, and it is a repetitive theme in his artwork. His message about babies is spot on and I think people need to realize that hatred is not born but created by how our parents raised us, the culture we surround ourselves in, and the environment around us.
Babies are not born with evil or hatred in their hearts because they are innocent creatures whose sole focus is to be loved, cuddled, and have someone attend to their daily needs. We are the ones that nurture them and must make it our daily mission to teach them that they should love everyone who comes in all shapes and sizes and not judge them because of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or whether they are rich or poor. For being a children's book there are powerful images shown throughout and I LOVE this book and must have my own copy!
