New Titles for New Parents!

We've got lots of exciting new titles from Chronicle Books trickling in this spring. Here's a look at two that we think would make beautiful, thoughtful gifts for new parents. (Technically, these guys aren't new-new; they just didn't last in the shop long enough for us to post about them last time! Check them out before they fly away again...)



From the publisher:

A Sky Full of Kindness
Rob Ryan’s papercut prose is so exquisitely intricate, it begs closer examination— and always captures a lingering eye. The story Ryan tells in this jacketed hardcover is a celebration of love and family just as heartfelt as it is visually arresting: two songbirds eagerly anticipate the arrival of their first child, and as they tend to their nest, they can’t help but worry about becoming parents. It’s the generosity and support of their avian friends and neighbors that confirms the world awaiting their unborn chick is indeed full of kindness. Brimming with poetic verse, each page is a work of art that will charm new parents and longtime fans of Ryan’s evocative imagery.

Parenthood Listography
Listography for parents! Now fans of the smash-hit journal series can keep a unique memory book of their child and their parenting experiences over the years. With more than 60 thought-provoking list topics ranging from the classic to the lovably idiosyncratic (including your child’s first words, the best and most challenging parts of parenting, and your child’s biggest tantrums), this illustrated journal is a celebration of parenthood and childhood that will serve as a lovely keepsake for the family.
