Ever since our little Sebastian was born and we got home from the hospital, I started reading to him and it’s become one his favorite parts of the day. From books ideal for bedtime stories to peek-a-boo flap books,I had a carefully curated list of books that I wanted to introduce to him from a young age and also have displayed on his nursery shelves. These books have also played an important role in his bedtime routine and has become his cue to sleep.

Home
"Home might be a house in the country, an apartment in the city, or even a shoe. Home may be on the road or the sea, in the realm of myth, or in the artist’s own studio. A meditation on the concept of home and a visual treat that invites many return visits, this loving look at the places where people live marks the picture-book debut of Carson Ellis, acclaimed illustrator of the Wildwood series and artist for the indie band the Decemberists."
