White and Black by Bok Bok Books, illustrated by Farah Khandaker – Book Review

Beautifully adorned with vivid, contrasting images, White & Black is the perfect little read for your little ones.

The concept is a simple one: white images with strong outlines against a black background, designed for stimulating the vision of a newborn baby. In those important first few weeks, babies can only see in black and white; at The Book Dragon, we encourage reading at every age and believe the illustrations in White & Black are perfect for getting your precious little bundles to focus in those early days. A book rich in diversity, White & Black is a bilingual treasure, featuring both English words and Bengali script along with its phonetic pronunciation, to stretch your baby’s mind in more ways than one as you share the pages with them. The book focuses on sounds and cleverly interweaves rhyming words to give it a lyrical quality. Well edited, the writing is all in lower case, which is the accepted font for early years. Perfect for popping in your bag while out and about, I award this 5 stars.
