Awake to Nap — Nikki McClure

This board book features Nikki McClure's collection of alphabet paper cuts. (Nikki had a show in Los Angeles earlier in the spring of 2005 where she sold all of the pieces from this collection.) Each paper cut features a baby exploring the world in some way, and is accompanied by a letter of the alphabet through the letter N, at which point, the baby nods off to sleep. This is a high-concept alphabet book—beautiful enough that adults would want to buy it but also accessible to children.
