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
