Description
“An adorable, thoughtful salute to an industry I so so love.” – Nik Walker (Hamilton)
“A magical trip to the amazing world of Broadway for the kid in all of us.” – Telly Leung (Aladdin)
Broadway Baby longs to sing, dance, shine, and zing on the New York stage!
This cheeky little one catches a dreamland star to spellbinding bright lights, stage doors, and costume/prop rooms, taking the reader along on a fanciful journey from crib to playground to a dazzling New York City.
With nods to elements that make live theater vibrant and special, this picture book is sure to touch the hearts of those who know the joys of being part of the theater community while sparking the thrills that come with being in the audience.
Lushly illustrated and written in rhyme as a nod to musicals by a Broadway/West End producer and a theater enthusiast, the book charmingly celebrates the creativity that the stage inspires, while reminding Broadway lovers of all ages that with a brilliant imagination even the loftiest of dreams can come true.

4.5 "put on your tap shoes and melt the heart" stars !!!
Thank you to Netgalley, the author and illustrator and Independent Publisher's group for an ecopy.
This will be released April 2023. I am providing my honest review.
Wowza...I got all misty and starry eyed while perusing this children's picture book. I read it three times and sang it to my partner a la Liza Minelli !
Baby's first trip to broadway as a spectator and then imagines themself as a STAR ! A REAL BROADWAY BABY STAR !!
The rhyming verse is a hoot and so sweet and funny ! The illustrations are an absolute dream and the child in question could be a boy or girl or any other gender really. Love that !!
Adored this little book and is suitable to all your tiny singers and dancers ages 3 to 6 !
Going to kick up my heels and listen to Evita ! Yasssss !
I made it to Brodway...my dreams took me far...and now it's my bedtime. Goodnight little star.

This toddler has some big dreams! And that’s full of glitter and glamour!
Just reading this colourful book about the kid makes me want to start dreaming a whole new bigger dream. The cover is fun, the contents quite entertaining and colourful and yes, you will not be able to ignore the glam!
A fun one!
Thank you, Meteor 17 Books, for the advance reading copy.

What an adorable and whimsical story to teach babies to dream big! I love theatre and have loved the stage since I was a little girl so I knew I had to read this ARC as soon as I saw it. This really is a love letter to Broadway and it is conveyed through lovely rhymes and beautiful illustrations (I even recognized a lot of New York's favorite shows got a few cameos in there). I usually don't review a lot of children's books, but I couldn't resist. This put such a big smile on my face and I can't wait for this book to validate a little kid's dreams of stardom!

I loved this book!
It was bright, colourful and really engaging
I loved the narrative and the illustrations were perfect.
I have been lucky enough to visit Broadway a couple of times and this book showcases all the glitz and glamour in a few pages.
It is a lovely little book and would be great as a keepsake for any children lucky enough to go there too.
It is 5 stars from me to this one – it really is a love letter to Broadway!
