FIRST BOOK

The Little Eyes series by an outstanding Japanese creator was created with the youngest children in mind. Its refined simplicity, innovative concept and varied topics are a great way to build an emotional, creative relationship with your child.
The series opens with the "First Book" for children aged 0-5 months. It is a set of twelve tripartite cards. Each of them has geometric black figures on a white background. By showing the child, i.e. by opening, translating and closing individual parts of the cards, we discover new, surprising shapes. We focus the child's eyesight on the changing images, stimulating his imagination and curiosity about the world. The form of the book allows for many ways of its presentation and "reading". We encourage you to discover these possibilities.

After birth, the baby observes the world around him and absorbs the experiences. When my newborn daughter began to look at me consciously, she wanted to tell me something. Then I drew the first illustrations to be able to communicate with her. During this period, without yet distinguishing colors, she reacted to strong contrast and simple shapes. The first card in this set shows the shape of a woman's breast as seen through the eyes of a child. For a child, it is a sign, a symbol of trust between him and his mother, it is a message. Triangle, circle, square. Different shapes convey different ideas. Watch the child, his reactions. Such contact will bring you great joy. A child's eye is twice as small as an adult's eye, but these little eyes keep a close watch on the world.
