In Navajo families, the first person to make a new baby laugh hosts the child’s First Laugh Ceremony and welcomes the little one into the community. Each family member, from the baby’s nima (mom) to their cheii (grandfather), tries their best to hear the newborn’s joyous cry. Other welcoming rituals from around the world are included in the back. Great for ages two and up! Recommended By Kim T., Powells.com
