Black & White in Color

Best Books for Babies 2025 Chicago Public Library Best Board & Picture Books of 2024 From the acclaimed and bestselling creator Tana Hoban, this sturdy accordion-format board book features iconic black-and-white images of recognizable objects from a child’s world accompanied by full-color photographs of babies interacting with those objects. A perfect gift for new parents and for tummy time. Before babies can see color clearly, they respond to the high contrast between black and white.

Showcasing everyday objects from childhood–for example, a bottle, a spoon, or a flower–Black & White in Color educates, entertains, and helps a baby’s developing brain make connections in an ever-expanding world. This edition includes high-contrast art from two bestselling Tana Hoban titles: Black on White and White on Black. These classic and popular board books have sold more than one million copies.
