Celebrate the move from a crib to a big bed!

Chip! Chip! Baby sea turtle grew too big for her shell.
And you grew and grew until you were too big for your mother's tummy.

A little boy learns that the animals around him, at the beach, at the zoo, and on his family's small farm-are growing bigger and bigger. He is growing too, and soon he leaves his crib for his very own big bed!

From debut author Rita M. Bergstein comes this encouraging story-paired with gentle, luminous illustrations by Susan Kathleen Hartung, about an important milestone in a child?s life.

A graduate of the School of Visual Arts in New York City, Susan Kathleen Hartung is the acclaimed illustrator of the award-winning Dear Juno, as well as beloved favorites One Dark Night and A Mom for Umande.

When not in her studio, Susan can be found renovating her 140-year-old farmhouse, or spending time with family and friends in her nearby hometown of Ann Arbor. Susan lives in Brooklyn, Michigan with her two dogs, Bongo and Audie, and her cat, Gomez.
