A playful board book for Colorado-born babies, filled with pop culture references, historic sites, and more

We’re living that Colorado life! In the Centennial State, we have mountains to the west and plains to the east, and a whole lot of beauty in between. But how do we pass our love of colorful Colorado on to our little ones? Introducing 100 First Words for Little Coloradans, a state primer for kids learning their first words! Forget apple and dog—little Coloradans are ready to move from ABC to SUP and other Colorado-specific words like granola, crampons, and Casa Bonita (if you know, you know). Packed with hilarious illustrations and 100 words every Colorado-dwelling baby should know (before any others, of course), 100 First Words for Little Coloradans is the perfect board book for families who call the Centennial State home.
