Sleepytime Rhyme

(3) PS Childlike watercolor artwork, set against a tranquil purple background, depicts a blissful mother and baby cavorting on a daybed, while outside the window other more whimsical but equally loving parent/child pairings (trees, houses, clouds, etc.) watch. The text hits the familiar "I love you" notes, i.e., "I love your hair / your head / your chin," but the overall result is soothing, not sappy.
