Art for Baby is India’s first medically vetted art book designed to stimulate cognitive development in newborns (0-3 months) while introducing them to contemporary art. Since babies at this age can only see black, white, and shades of grey, this high-contrast picture book—featuring works by leading Indian artists—enhances their early visual recognition and engagement.

Created by Rudritara Shroff, Art for Baby includes contributions from Dhruvi Acharya, Jyoti Bhatt, Jyotsna Bhatt, Jogen Chowdhury, Atul Dodiya, Anju Dodiya, Shilpa Gupta, N.S. Harsha, Bijoy Jain, Reena Saini Kallat, Shakuntala Kulkarni, Manish Nai, Amol K. Patil, Gigi Scaria, and Sudarshan Shetty. The accompanying flashcards offer insights into each artist’s work, fostering caregiver-baby bonding.

Proceeds from the book support children’s projects through UNICEF India and Outset UK. Original artworks featured in the book were exhibited at Christie’s in Mumbai and New York, raising $57,582 for these initiatives.

Rudritara Shroff is currently completing her IB from the American School Bombay (ASB). She was involved in the business development prior to the opening of the Museum of Solutions, Mumbai, where she is also currently interning. She has been offered an internship at UNICEF in Mumbai. Rudritara volunteered to be a part of THE CORONA QUILT PROJECT, with the aim of providing her peers a platform to share their experiences of the pandemic, through a creative outlet. The initiative also encouraged solidarity and connections between the students of her class, Grade 8B, to help diffuse the negative effects of the lock down. Rudritara has a deep passion for the arts, and their capacity to initiate social change. Once she graduates, she plans to major in Psychology and Art in Medicine at university.
