Babiekins Magazine

A Trendsetting Magazine & Online Community For The Trendsetting Child + Parent

Whale Spotting

By Donna Tweedale, Former Contributor Leave a Comment

The deep blue blows my little Babiekins’ mind. We’ve watched ocean life documentaries open mouthed; In awe of this incredible world under the waves. So it will come as no surprise that one of our favourite bedtime reads is ”If You Want To See A Whale” by the New York Times bestseller writer of ”And Then It’s Spring” Julie Fogliano.

” If you want to see a whale you will need a not-so-comfy chair and a not-too-cozy blanket because sleeping eyes can’t watch for whales and whale’s won’t wait for watching.”

Erin. E. Stead’s delicate illustrations are beautifully composed.  Leading you on a journey with a cute flame haired boy; his trusty basset hound and a tiny bird friend in tow trying to avoid daydreams and natures distractions to patiently wait…and wait…

Still, when we read this book together; Edie gasps when she sees the whale under the boat as if it was the first time. Adorable. This book is sure to be a big part of my Babiekins’ childhood memories of calm bedtimes.

Copyright © 2021 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
