Because You Are My Baby

(4) PS Illustrated by Marcellus Hall. "If I were a sailor, I would sail the world with you." So begins this catalog of special things a mother would do for her child if she was a mountaineer, rock star, diver, quarterback, etc. This rhyming testament to a parent's endless love is more about mom than babe, but muted retro-style brown-hued watercolors keep it from becoming unbearably schmaltzy.
