Illustrated by
Tony Kerins.
This lovely recognition of the physical milestones a baby reaches in the first year of life--smiling, rolling over, crawling, etc.--poetically conveys the magnitude of each new achievement. A combination of dreamy soft-focus paintings and pencil sketches show baby and family indoors and out, reflecting the day-to-day rhythms of their life together as the seasons change.
