Seattle Baby

Your toddler's favorite book about Seattle―built for tiny hands, big smiles, and the magic of hometown pride.

Whether you're welcoming a new baby to the Emerald City or gifting a piece of Seattle from afar, Seattle Baby brings beloved landmarks and local flavor to life through bold, spirited illustrations and toddler-friendly storytelling. Designed for children ages 0 to 4, this board book invites little ones to explore their home through colorful visuals, simple phrasing, and playful pacing.

From the Space Needle to Mount Rainier to the Museum of Pop Culture, every page captures the essence of Seattle in a way that engages young readers and creates moments of connection with caregivers. Toddlers will reach for this book again and again―flipping pages, pointing at scenes, and eagerly searching for hidden shapes, animals, and surprises as they ask to read it one more time.

More than a local tour, Seattle Baby is a joyful introduction to early learning and hometown pride. Bonus activity ideas in the back provide additional ways to extend reading time, making it both fun and developmentally enriching.

KYLE REED was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. And guess what? You'll still find him there. But that doesn't mean he's never travelled to interesting places or experienced exciting things. He's been to Asia. He's been on two roller coasters. He's been on a third roller coaster. He's been to Sheridan College, where he studied illustration. Kyle has taken all these experiences and more (but not much more) and focused them into his artwork. Combining traditional collage, various mixed media, and digital applications, Kyle creates characters and worlds for children's stories and products. He has worked with various publishers and was also a part of CORE Digital Pictures' 2D design team working on Super Why, the children's educational cartoon airing on PBS (USA) and CBC (Canada).
