Baby Sees First Colors: Black, White & Red is from Akio Kashiwara, creator of Baby Sees Colors. It has sold over 300,000 copies in Japan and is an international bestseller!

As infants are developing their eyesight and learning to focus on the world around them, high-contrast books with simple lines and bold patterns are easier for babies to see. The bold images stand out against an otherwise blurry world.

Babies benefit from hearing a parent's voice, and the bonding that naturally occurs when a loving adult reads to a baby. Receptive language skills develop right from the start, as babies soak in everything they hear, and eventually learn to associate particular sounds with familiar people and things.
