Independence From Pink

As anyone familiar with New York knows, tonight the FDR drive will be lined with junior firework watchers wearing--what else--black. It's not that they don't love America in the big city; it's just that red white and blue screams Wayward Tourist Lost on the Way to Madame Tussaud's.

Presenting the manifesto of hipster city kids and their kindred spirits across the nation: Urban Babies Wear Black. Michelle Sinclair Coleman's hilarious board book is a tongue-in-cheek look at life in Manhattan for the species Infantus Urbanus

The awesome artwork from illustrator Nathalie Dion brings to life the daily grind of gallery-hopping, yoga classes, and mocha latte playdates.

What? Isn't that what your baby does every day?

Pacifier online will even package the book in its own coffee--er, latte--cup with a complimentary onesie. Yes, in black. Even on the fourth, is there any other color?  -Liz

Liz, I had my baby too early. Tho' my city is the Minne-apple (sorry, couldn't resist), I am an urban mother at heart. 11 years ago all we had was Hanna Anderson, Gymboree and Target. Ah, to be dressing a boy today. Much, much more cool.

I am currently working on the sequel to that book, called "urban parents are LAME." It will mostly be full of self portraits.
