When I was a little girl, there were a few books that had a particular impact on me - books that I remember to this day and associate with my childhood. One of them was What Color Is Love? by Joan Walsh Anglund. I thought it was a charming book. So when I had children of my own and was busily stocking their library, I tried to track it down but found it was out of print. Instead, I bought a copy of Babies Are a Bit of Heaven, also by Joan Walsh Anglund.
Last night, as I was reading it to my children for the first time, it struck me. I couldn't believe I hadn't noticed it before. None of the babies or children have noses or mouths. They don't have mouths, but the adults do. Is this supposed to mean something? Am I the only one disturbed by this?

Very strange! I remember What Color is Love. Never noticed that the adults have mouths but the kids don't. Can't imagine it means anything sinister but it is weird.
It IS disturbing, but then again look at the Wii charachters. The miis all have balls for hands, no necks....etc....disturbing if you really take the time to look.
