When my younger brother became a father, I knew I wanted to create something meaningful for his son—my nephew, Leo. Though miles separate us, books have always been a way to bridge the distance and pass down traditions. Just like my Husband and I read to Dax and Bri from the very beginning, I wanted to ensure that the next generation in our family would also grow up immersed in stories that inspire faith, creativity, and wonder.
Welcome to the World of Shapes & Wonders!
I am beyond excited to introduce the first book in the C.Brax Kids Collection—Welcome to the World of Shapes & Wonders! This book marks the beginning of a year-long journey designed to help babies develop curiosity and a love for learning. Each book in the series is crafted to align with key developmental milestones, providing visually engaging content that grows along with your little one.
📖 12 Books. 12 Months. One new release each month to complete baby’s first year! 💛 Encouraging curiosity, learning, and bonding from day one. 🎨 Thoughtfully designed illustrations to captivate little eyes.
The Power of Color in Early Learning
Research shows that colors play a significant role in a baby's development. Newborns first recognize high-contrast colors like black, white, and red, which help stimulate their vision and cognitive skills. As they grow, bright primary colors like blue, yellow, and red become easier to distinguish, sparking curiosity and engagement. By the time they reach six months, pastel shades and color combinations help enhance emotional connection and recognition. Understanding these stages, I've carefully selected the color palettes for each book in the series to match your baby’s visual development and stimulate their growing mind.

This Sunday, I'm sharing a heartwarming reel of my nephew Leo and my sister-in-law Ellie, reading Welcome to the World of Shapes & Wonders! It’s a special moment that represents more than just a book—it’s a tradition of storytelling, learning, and connection that I hope continues for generations.
