by Taro Gomi
There’s a lot of junky stuff made for kids but for every poorly written and illustrated book, there’s one as charming as the work of Taro Gomi.
I found this adorable box set browsing the children’s section at Word and fell in love. Van and I adore the simple, quirky, colorful watercolors and short stories.
His personal favorite of the three, which includes Spring is Here and My Friends, is Bus Stops.
This is a most fabulous gift to new parents and likely one they won’t already have.
Gomi is a prolific Japanese children’s book illustrator best known in the states for his classic Everybody Poops, which I will be getting once potty training begins.
But what do you think?
