Baby Steps

좋아하는 작가라서 세일을 할 때 덜컹 사버렸습니다. Sookie라는 작가의 딸이 태어나서 일년이 될 때까지의 모습을 아버지로서 세심하게 그린 그림입니다. 그런데 아내되시는 분이 한국계인가봐요. Sookie(아마도 숙희?)의 돌옷이나 앞부분 헌사도 그렇구요~ 참 고운 책입니다.
A lovely and loving record of a baby s first year.

This is baby Suki.
She is one day old.
The nurse wraps her tightly in a blanket.
We call her our little burrito.

As little Suki grows bigger with each passing month, she reaches the milestones that every child does in the magical first year of life. At three months she claps her hands and squeals with delight. At nine months she visits the beach and plays with her mother at the water s edge. Soon it s time for Suki to celebrate her first birthday.

Peter McCarty chronicles the early months of his daughter s life in exquisite pencil drawings and tender, evocative prose that will resonate with anyone who has ever watched a child grow. Baby Steps, a wonderful gift book for new parents, is also just right for sharing with toddlers who love to look at pictures of babies and point out all the things they can do.
