I wrote this little book for Emma the first year Rollo was born. Times were bleak because we were in lockdown due to COVID.

Rollo was a little ray of sunshine in our lives. He was too little to sit in the high chair, so we put him on a box on the kitchen counter. There he sat quite happily and had his meals for many months.

As he grew, we modified and strengthened the box. Eventually, the box got too small for him, and we had to use the high chair (borrowed from my lovely publisher’s wife, Sharon).

The book is illustrated with a series of pictures I took and covers the story of when he first tasted apple sauce.
