Baby days are busy days. Baby doesn’t just eat, sleep and play. He sees wonder in everything he sees and does.
From waking with the sun to riding on a broom-stick horsie and sailing in a tub, the reader views the baby’s day through his rich imagination.
Ian Bone’s text is lyrical yet very simple, floating its way through the book as the baby floats his way through his day. The illustrations of Anne Spudvilas, in rich pastel tones, match the mood of the text perfectly. Spudvilas works in oils and watercolour ink washes to recreate the gentleness of baby’s world. The baby is delightfully gender-neutral.
Baby Days is perfect for gentle bedtime reading and would be a perfect gift for a new born or for a Christening.
