From wobbly first steps to romping in the rain, this vibrant book captures the precious early years of a child's life. Designed in the style of a photo album, snapshots and big, unbordered pictures spill across the pages in apple red, lemon yellow and other fruity hues.

Publisher's Weekly:  "...William's charcoal line has so much verve and affection and the subject exudes such cuteness. . .no matter how impressive the girl's talents and achievents, the grownups who love her will always think of her as their Tummy Girl."
