(4) PS Illustrated by Jing Jing Tsong. A lullaby-like poem, full of gentle repetition, recounts a mother's relationship with her baby before and after birth. The pattern-rich digital collages have a lovely dreamlike quality, but the deep hues almost swallow the delicate font in some places. The same mother is depicted throughout, lending a personal touch to an otherwise generic, sentimental text with appeal for pregnant women and new mothers.
