At a meal with a large extended family, a playful, excitable baby becomes the center of attention. The family gathers at a table set with dishes, cutlery, glasses, flowers, and placemats, but the baby’s presence turns dinner lively and unruly. Family members pass the baby around as they share the feast. Detailed illustrations made with soft mixed media accompany this busy scene of food, relatives, and baby play.
