(Undersea #1<\/em> Art Print by Susie Ghahremani<\/a>.)<\/p><\/div>\n

When I was pregnant with James, Ryan discovered the work of artist Susie Ghahremani<\/a>, and we both quickly became loyal fans.\u00a0 I was immediately drawn to Ghahremani’s whimsical prints, which are perfectly suited for a child’s nursery, but also portray an edgier quality, too, that appeals to adults.\u00a0 We own several pieces from boygirlparty<\/em><\/a>, Ghahremani’s site that showcases her artwork and other creations, and our boys love the sweet animals that watch over them while they are sleeping.<\/p>\n

Undersea #1<\/em>, pictured above, is a family favorite of ours.\u00a0 I bought the print for James’ room before he was born, and also purchased a t-shirt<\/a> in a similar print for Ryan, who wore it for the births of both boys.\u00a0 When Rhys came along, we added Undersea #2<\/em><\/a> to our collection, as we completed our little family.<\/p>\n

I especially adore the sense of family and togetherness evident within Ghahremani’s work, and the two prints above also hang in the boys’ rooms.<\/p>\n

Susie Ghahremani is also a sought-after illustrator<\/a>, and her newest children’s book, What Will Hatch?<\/em><\/a> by Jennifer Ward<\/a>, was recently released.\u00a0 I ordered a copy to share with James and Rhys, and they love the wonderful, lifelike illustrations featuring oviparous animals, which hatch from eggs.\u00a0 Take a look at these beautiful pictures, graciously provided by Susie.<\/p>\n

\u00a0What Will Hatch?<\/em> is wonderfully written in a simple way for the youngest children to understand, and each page features various egg-size holes for little ones to touch as they learn about different creatures, from crocodiles to penguins, who hatch from eggs.\u00a0 It’s such a lovely book and is fun to read aloud, too.<\/p>\n

I love Susie Ghahremani’s beautiful illustrations, and I hope you’ll check out her work at her website<\/a>, which features an entire line of products inspired by her art, including jewelry, notepads, and magnets, as well as prints and original pieces available for purchase.<\/p>\n
