We love this book. There is beautiful poetry and fabulous artwork. This has been our #1 babygift.

Lovely book

This book is not only beautiful to look at but also to read and listen to. The words are inspiring and has something to make each child feel special. The illustrations are so vibrant and colorful, but uncomplicated so that it is easy for a child to appreciate and enjoy. This book is perfect for a birthday or shower gift. I have a few teacher friends and I will be recommending this to them for their classes, to celebrate their students birthday months.
