Here we go with two fresh books in a series titled My Cool Family from Doubleday's author Robyn Wall and illustrator Lydia Nichols: My First Book of Beards and My First Book of Tattoos. Quick rhyme accompanies clean illustrations with a subdued palette and beautiful black, varied and expressive lines.
My First Book of Beards describes beards via the tasks the characters are doing and transitions to physical descriptions of beards:
Merry beard
Share-y beard
Glitter princess fairy beard
My First Book of Tattoos describes the tattoo imagery and the physical expression of that choice:
Rock it tat
Chalk it tat
Catch it, pass it, block it tat
Both of the best beards and tats come with love for the child. What a fun addition to our shelves for first readers. Brava!
