EYE GAMES FOR BABY Book Series Awarded Product of the Year

CHICAGO, Nov. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Baby of Mind, publisher of the highly acclaimed "Eye Games for Baby" book series, has recently been awarded Book of the Year and Product of the Year by the esteemed Creative Child Awards Program - one of the leading and most respected programs devoted to reviewing books and toys for babies and young children.

The awarded books - the original "Eye Games for Baby" and "Baby's First Stroller Book" (published 2011) - are accordion-fold image books designed for babies 0-6 months with the help of a leading infant vision specialist.  The books are pioneers in a category of baby books designed to delight and immerse babies while acting as parenting aids for baby's vision.  What puts them apart from most other kids' books is that they are truly made with baby in mind - to be used at a time when baby's vision is still developing.

The first few months of baby's life, according to the American Optometric Association, are crucial for monitoring vision, as certain eye conditions that could lead to permanent vision loss later on in life may be successfully treated in childhood if detected early enough.  For this reason the AOA recommends all babies receive vision screenings not only when they are newborns, but also their first comprehensive vision assessment at about 6 months of age.  Baby of Mind uses its award-winning Eye Games for Baby books to bring awareness about the need for early vision screening to new parents through invaluable reminders - both through email, social media, partnerships with doctors and hospitals, and charitable donations.

The publishing company's owner, Cheryl Postrozny, is a mother of three - the firstborn having underwent eye surgery at six months of age.  Her passion for developing images that encourage a newborn's visual growth and curiosity began a few months before her first baby was even born - well before she could imagine that baby would have eye issues.  Postrozny says, "not enough parents realize the need to schedule their baby's first comprehensive eye exam at six months, and since our books are ending up in the hands of those caregivers, there's a great opportunity to make a difference to many lives by bringing awareness for early vision screening."

The publisher is honored to list the following awards from Creative Child:
PRODUCT OF THE YEAR - Baby Products for Eye Development Category (Creative Child)
