About This Book

High-contrast black and white images

Why This Book Matters

Perfect for newborn visual development; babies see high contrast best

Educational Value

Tana Hoban's 'Black & White' is valuable for early childhood development because the high-contrast images are ideal for a newborn's developing eyesight. The book helps to stimulate a baby's visual and cognitive development by providing clear, bold patterns that are easy for them to focus on, which can help to lengthen attention spans and encourage a love of books from a very young age.
