In search of a birthday present for a one year old I have turned to the minimal realist, Charley Harper... I think his illustrations to the ABC's and 123's will help turn Lucy into a sophisticated little reader.
...and my forever favorite children's illustration book. The 1962 This is San Francisco, by Czech author-illustrator Miroslav Sasek. I think I buy this book whenever I have an excuse to... Someday I wish to own the entire travel guide series.
