Description

P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Told in the first person, this unique picture book tells the tale of a baby on their journey to be born, filled with places to personalize the narrative with child and family photos. The whimsical, amusing illustrations—a mixture of cut paper and watercolor—transport readers to a world of their own, where they are allowed to be the heroes of the story. Presenting a child’s arrival into this world as a great event for the entire family, the book helps kids understand the origins of the special bond between mothers and babies, as well as the magnificent passage to the family nest.
