Be Gentle with the Young

In this collection, renowned photographer Anne Geddes revisits more than 100 captivatingly serene and inspiring photographs that exude the innocence, fragility, and peacefulness of infancy.

From a napping newborn ensconced within the petals of a rose, to a peaceful child using the stamen of an orchid as a pillow, this book's stellar photographic content is paired with equally lavish production values including full-color imagery throughout. Geddes's Be Gentle with the Young reinforces the inherent message behind her work and the Geddes Philanthropic Trust: Children are to be protected, nurtured, and loved.

Be gentle with them.
