We celebrated my little boy's first birthday this past week. It was full of the usual—cake all over the face, a new balloon obsession, torn and half-eaten wrapping paper, and the eventual meltdown. It was awesome.I must say that of all the gifts received, there was one that stood out. My sweet sister-in-law is one of those people that listens to little cues during the year in order to purchase the perfect gift. She and my brother gifted my toddler with This is New York by Czech born Illustrator & Writer, Miroslav Sasek. I have admired M. Sasek's This Is series for years. His whimsical illustration style is absolutely captivating and his words are quite hilarious. What a great opportunity to teach your kids about the world out there, or at least what is was like in the 50's and 60's (which only adds the humor). I'm looking forward to adding to the collection!
