Three cheers for a great birthday! This cute cake comes from Baby's First Book (1974), a cherished Little Golden Book written and illustrated by Garth Williams.

It's a perfect candidate for a charming and nostalgic greeting card.
Garth Williams (1912–1996) was born into an artistic family, his father was a cartoonist, and his mother a landscape painter. Though he was of British descent, Williams spent the majority of his life in the United States. He gained recognition for his meticulous illustrations, bringing beloved stories to life in various mediums. He's renowned for his collaborations with Margaret Wise Brown on several Little Golden Book, featuring sweet baby animals and humans, which further enriched his contribution to the world of children's literature. His precise and whimsical illustrations for classic children's books, such as Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little by E.B. White, cemented his iconic status. Williams's work captures the charm of the characters in these stories, showcasing his profound influence on illustration in the world of children's literature.
