The Sunbonnet Babies were the creation of Betha L. Corbet, an American artist from the early 1900's.  She hid the faces of the children behind sunbonnets because she lacked confidence in her ability to draw faces.  Her themes for her art were the daily chores that help children develop character traits in the home—washing, ironing, sewing, sweeping, dusting, baking, and—on the seventh day, resting from your labors to go fishing and to church.
