In this beautiful book with minimalist illustrations designed by Émilie Vast a mother traces his child's ancestry generation to generation, and with the help of matryoshka.
Looking back at Baby's lineage, mother describes how long, long, long, long ago, the mother of the mother of the mother of her mom welcomed to the family the mother of the mother of her mom. And so it goes, tracing Baby's ancestors through to the present day. Russian nesting dolls (matryoshka) illustrated on each spread get smaller with each turn. Each is a different color, decorated with animals, flowers, and other nature-based items.
