Kate Merritt‘s collage artwork is featured in two new installments of the Indestructibles series from Workman Publishing, Baby Night-Night and Baby Peekaboo. The Indestructibles series is uniquely designed for babies’ active and often messy lifestyle. The sweet and simple stories are enhanced by Kate’s adorable artwork.
About the Indestructibles series from Workman Publishing:
Indestructibles are the books built for the way babies read. They are 100 percent baby-proof, chew-proof, rip-proof, and drool-proof. Printed on a unique nontoxic, paperlike material that holds up to anything babies can throw at it—gumming, spilling, dragging across the floor— Indestructibles are the little books that could. They’re indestructible. And if they get dirty, just throw them in the washing machine or dishwasher.
Visit the Workman website to order copies of the books for your little one.
