NOTE

This original artwork appears on pages 14 and 15 of the book Arthur's Baby and depicts Arthur's mom packing her suitcase just before the birth of baby Kate. Like many of Marc Brown's books which grew out of the artist's life experience, Arthur's Baby was inspired by the birth of Marc Brown's daughter Eliza in 1986.
