The purpose of this book was to document the birth of our daughter Grace Annabella. A storybook entitled A Little Grace was designed as more of a gift to our daughter than simply an announcement. To capture her girlness, we used collages of wallpaper florals, delicate typography and overlaid ornate rules to frame the black-and-white photographs throughout. We believe Grace is a direct answer to prayer, and we wanted this to resonate in the pages of this book even after we’re gone. Various slipcases were made from the printer’s makereadies. A Little Grace is bound in debossed hardcover with tip-on.
