Five Rainy Day Books

IMG_2421
There's about a week of rain forecasted our way and I'm sure living here on the west coast (or wet coast as I've often named it); a winter of the wet stuff will most definitely be on the radar. The folks at Raincoast Books and (Chronicle Books) were thoughtful enough to send over a few rainy day children's book ideas for the home set and we're happy to share these publications here.

No. 1 OTHER GOOSE, Re-nurseried and Re-rhymed Children's Classics

Otto Seibold's take on your favorite Mother Goose characters and a feast for the eyes with a new element to his art–spray-painted backgrounds.
