If your little ones are bored while stuck at home, we have you covered. We rounded up some of our very best picture books for your family to enjoy together. Happy reading!

May 2 is a holiday of dubious origins and vague purpose…but if at least one online calendar of events say that May 2 is Baby Day, who are we to argue? Besides, are you saying that the babies of this world don’t deserve a day of their own, a day to celebrate whatever it is that makes babies so appealing and special? Of course you’re not saying that.

And what better way to celebrate Baby Day than to start your baby—or a friend, family member or neighbor’s baby—on the path to ultimate happiness? In short, why not make your baby an Internet Celebrity?

It's a truth universally acknowledged that most of us would much rather raise lovers than fighters. What better way to ensure this than to honor your favorite characters from some of history's most romantic literature?

Get inspired by our list of beloved authors, characters and muses who will surely win your affection throughout the ages. "What's in a name?" Juliet Capulet asked, to which we answer, "More than the usual suspects." Here are ten literary-inspired picks for baby bookworms.

Here at Quirk, we love watching our books get transformed into apps when the opportunity presents itself. Check out a few examples of that, here. 

Last week, we released our latest venture into book-to-app with How to Con Your Kid. Our new friends at Papertrell did an absolutely amazing job, and you can get the app now in the App Store and via Google Play. 

To celebrate, we want to give YOU a chance to be one of the first to try the app out! We've got a Rafflecopter set up below, and you can enter to win a download code for How to Con Your Kid plus a copy of the original book. Winners will be contacted via email, and will have their choice of iOS or Android codes. 

Good luck!

Hey Quirk fans!

We're still seeking seeking babies to be photographed for an upcoming Fall 2014 book, and we’re especially in need of babies 6 months (or younger) to twelve months in age. We’re looking for babies of all ethnicities, too! And while we can't dish out details about the project just yet, you can think of it as Quirk's version of an Anne Geddes book. More info available for serious inquirers.

Right now we're looking in the Philadelphia and New York City region, as the photographer lives here in Philly and also makes regular trips to NYC. The photographer of the book will stop by your house to take the photo.

There's no compensation, but your baby will be featured in an amazing Quirk book! And of course, you'll get a really great, unique professional photo of your child. Interested parents can email me ([email protected]) headshots of their babies, and we'll forward them on to the photographer.

Thanks!
