The words of Margaret K. Menges team up with the oil paintings of Kathleen Huddle resulting in an original art book graced with poetry. Even though the paintings depict Huddle's children, they represent the universal child. Menges wrote of the bath, a time honored ritual performed by mothers throughout the ages, while Huddle recorded the bathing antics of her infant twins on canvas. Children of the Sky makes a perfect gift for mothers because it strikes a chord of recognition in mothers of all ages and celebrates the innocence and beauty of babies.
