Trade Review"A picture-book celebration of babies and their individuality. Smooth cartoon illustrations with stardustlike detailing depict... characters (recurring) throughout the book, the ever present sparkles emphasizing the title's 'shine.' This family diversity contributes to the picture book's success, making it stand apart from a surfeit of titles about beloved babies. Warm and bright." -- Kirkus Reviews
