City Baby

Laurie Elmquist

An Asian mother and her baby spend time together in a busy city. The baby rides mainly in a stroller as they visit a park, coffee shop, and festival. Along the way, the pair pause for small discoveries: the baby watches pigeons, blows bubbles, and studies a reflection in a shop window. Short sentences accompany textured collage scenes that follow their outings and capture the details of the places they visit.
