The lazy, hazy, playful days of summer spring to glorious life in a beautiful new board book by acclaimed artist and leading textile designer Jane Foster. This celebration of all that summer means is the sparkling follow-up to Foster's first seasonal book, Springtime, and is the perfect way to help little ones explore the exciting activities that make the summer months such fun. With bold, vibrant and eye-catching artwork, these cleverly created board books have a special appeal for design-conscious parents and are the perfect gift for holidays or a summer baby. From sand castles, bright sunflowers and a polka dot swimming costume to tasty ice cream and traditional buckets and spades, this inventive book uses high-contrast images to introduce little children to each summertime topic. Foster's images, featuring vivid colours and thick black lines, provide hours of early learning fun whilst also acting as a stylish alternative to traditional photographic board books. The glossy illustrations are appealing to both the eye and little hands, and sturdy enough to withstand the roughest handling. A special summer outing for the very youngest family members!
