A child narrates the changes in his parents' lives since he was born--not always reliably. For instance, he describes breakfast before his arrival as "super dull"--but in the pictures his parents look content with their peaceful meal (espresso and croissant for his white dad; matcha and natto for his Japanese mom). Meshon's acrylic art is bold, brightly colored, and appropriately chaotic; the family dog's perspective adds humor.
