This autumn The Kate Greenaway Baby Book reappears with a fresh new cover. Designed by Ting-Chung Cheng, winner of the Kate Greenaway Design Award, the new look was the unanimous choice of a distinguished panel of judges, including three artists, who convened in Kate Greenaway’s studio in Hampstead.

This will be the third edition and fifteenth printing of The Kate Greenaway Baby Book, a title that has built up a loyal and enthusiastic following around the world.

The book combines traditional design with a modern approach to child development. It has sections for parents to fill in with details of general progress as well as important information such as vaccinations and illnesses. The pages have been laid out with plenty of space for photographs, first drawings and other keepsakes of early childhood.

Author description
Kate Greenaway (1846–1901) was one of the first illustrators to have her work published in colour. She had a bold watercolour style and her uncanny ability to capture the innocence of childhood won her instant popularity. Her powerful influence can be traced in the finely detailed watercolours of Beatrix Potter and every year her work is remembered in the award of the Kate Greenaway Medal.
