Baby! by Sirish Rao
Throughout India images of babies appear everywhere - on posters, in calendars and on billboards. But these are no ordinary babies. Chairman Baby, Scientist Baby, Farmer Baby and Army Baby all make an appearance. Carriers of dreams, both personal and social, these babies find themselves in a bewildering and delightful variety of professional roles. One hundred classic baby posters go to make this extravagant book unashamedly zany. The first ever collection of such images, this is the perfect gift book for parents, would-be parents and grandparents.
Raja Mohanty has written and illustrated ten books, many of them made by his own hand - from adaptations of Chekhov stories to 'silly tales' for children. He teaches courses in design and visual arts at the Industrial Design Centre of Mumbai's IIT, and is involved in several projects on Indian art and cultural traditions. An exciting voice in contemporary Indian writing, Sirish Rao has authored over eighteen books, ranging from novels to children's books, re-tellings of myths to pop art collections. HIs books have won international awards and have been translated into several languages. His writing reflects his interest in nature, mountaineering, travel, eccentric people and the oddities of language. Raut is a young painter trained in the traditional art of Patachitra painting of Orissa. He was awarded a national scholarship to continue his work in the tradition.
