Some babies are in such a hurry to be born that they arrive months before their time. They are tiny, delicate as feathers, and need special care.
In just a few pages, this is the point of view of an older brother who learns what "prematurity" means, in a time when it is still little talked about and almost a "taboo" subject.
A story that embraces and accompanies older brothers and sisters on a journey where they can do very little, and are forced to simply watch from the outside what is happening. This book is meant to be a tool for children, siblings of premature babies, to see things in a way that feels relatable and close to their own experience.
This book aims to explain prematurity to children and to teach that love also grows in waiting, even when there can be no hugs or seeing each other and that when everything finally turns out well, every day together is a precious gift.
