Welcome, Little One

Welcome, little one, to our little world. We’ve been waiting a whole lifetime to meet you.   Beautifully and boldly illustrated, Welcome, Little One is all about introducing a new baby to their little world. There’s the blanket to keep them warm, the family dog who will teach them friendship and the bedroom window as a gateway to wonder and adventure.   Inspired by Sophie Beer’s own experience of becoming a parent, Welcome, Little One delightfully weaves all the heartfelt dreams a parent hopes for their child into a sweet book for both to treasure.

Reveling in color, shape and texture, she lives by one simple rule: art should never be boring. Sophie has sold over 500k copies of her books across the US.
