When my child was just a tiny newborn I couldn’t find any cloth books that I really liked so I made my own. I wanted something with bold patterns to interest him that was also aesthetic (so many baby toys are bright, garish and ugly). It needed to inspire my tired brain to think of things to talk about, but I decided that something that didn’t have words would be best as repeating exactly the same story billions of times would probably be boring for me and baby.

Here is what I made, it’s rough around the edges as I never got round to blocking it.
