The Kate Greenaway First Year Baby Book, The by Kate Greenaway
Your child's first year is unique. They do more things for the first time then than at any other stage in their life: their first smile, first giggle, first unaided steps, first meaningful word. It is a record year for firsts. Thanks to advice from midwives and health visitors, The Kate Greenaway First Year Baby Book is a helpful reference with which you can chart your child's progress: for example, the first time your baby rolls over (3 to 6 months) or sits unsupported (9 to 18 months).Classically designed and illustrated with an abundance of original watercolours by Kate Greenaway (1846-1901), this book makes an elegant keepsake. The book is pocket-sized so that parents can always have it with them to record those special moments wherever and whenever they happen.
Greenaway, Kate: - Kate Greenaway (1846-1901) British author and artist Kate Greenaway grew up in North London and spent summers in the Nottinghamshire countryside. These happy times from her childhood were the foundation of many of her stories. Her illustrations--portraying the idyllic landscape as a playground for children dressed in sumptuous Regency clothing--offered a romanticized escape from the realities of the ever-encroaching industrialized world. In her costume designs, she combined the influences of her mother, an accomplished seamstress, with those of her father, a master engraver. She studied art in London where she developed a close relationship with printer Edmund Evans (1826-1905). Together they produced more than 150 books. Greenaway's popular illustrations inspired lines of ceramics, jewelry, fabrics, wallpaper, and children's clothing.
