(Undersea #1 Art Print by Susie Ghahremani.)

When I was pregnant with James, Ryan discovered the work of artist Susie Ghahremani, and we both quickly became loyal fans.  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.  We own several pieces from boygirlparty, 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.

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

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.

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

 What Will Hatch? 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.  It’s such a lovely book and is fun to read aloud, too.

I love Susie Ghahremani’s beautiful illustrations, and I hope you’ll check out her work at her website, 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.
