Reviews REVIEWS

“The author has recorded the first twelve months of his son Pablo’s life, from the baby’s first cry—when held in the doctor’s hands—through his first steps. A simple text printed in large, bold type explains the various ways in which the baby explores the world around him; exquisite black-and-white photographs show the bright-eyed infant engage in various activities; feeding at his mother’s breast, playing with toys, climbing stairs, or just sitting and grinning. The book is skillfully and carefully designed with imaginative sequences of photographs which are both humorous and informative. A joyful and entertaining chronicle.”
