It's a Book!

  • Jul. 8th, 2008 at 10:20 AM

Baby's Song will be out next month and it's bee-ooo-ti-ful!  I just got my copies and am happy to see this baby delivered!



The amazing artist is Deborah Perez-Stable and this is our second book together for Abingdon Press.  The book description reads:

A picture book in lyrical rhyme, Baby's Song follows the seasons in a year of baby's life.  Mother and child share the joys that each season has to offer and grow in their awareness of the blessings God has given them throughout the year.  The tender text is coupled with warm and personable illustrations, and is sure to be enjoyed over and over again for lap-time reading.

Here's a sample page of illustration and text:


                                                   Art @ Deborah Perez-Stable 2008

Baby, see the winter snow
Swirling all around,
Covering the house and gate,
Blanketing the ground.
Roll a snowball!  Make a snowman!
Pat!  Pat!  Pat!
God has made the lacy snow
That decorates your hat.

                                                          Text @ Dori Chaconas 2008

AND I learned a really cool feature on [info]jmammaywrites blog this morning.  If you click on a picture, it'll open to a larger size!  Isn't technology amazing!

Isn't she sweet? Deborah used a live model, took photos, and then did the artwork from those. Imagine that child having a book about HER to have all her life.
