Artist Melissa Leslie-Quinones created the 'Kumusta Baby!' Series as a book for her girls and all the beautiful babies around the globe who love the Filipino culture and language. As a first generation Filipino American, it is her honor to be able to pass on the beautiful language of Tagalog to the next generation. The hand drawn imagery of baby's first words are focused on frequently used words for specific seasons of life around the home, beach, potty training, bedtime and more with familiar words that peak baby's interest.
