First Prayers for Baby

Sophie Piper has an excellent reputation as a compiler of children's prayer books, which include Prayers for the Very Young, Goodnight Prayers, and Prayers for a Better World. Annabel Spenceley is an experienced and extremely talented artist with a beautiful mastery of watercolor. She completed a degree in fashion design only to discover she hated sewing! After earning a master’s degree in illustration, she has had a colorful range of jobs, including mural painter, decorative effects painter, and general freelance artist. Now she concentrates on children’s book illustration and greeting card design. With her figurative style, she likes to highlight movement or a characteristic quirk by drawing with a sketchy line over a watercolor or ink base.
