The Sweetest book

I remember reading this book to a little boy I used to babysit. When I had my own daughter, I knew I had to find it to read to her. Of course, as she's only 1, it means a whole lot more to me! It doesn't explicitly discuss adoption, but of course, it can be used to describe it. I look forward to reading it to my daughter as she grows older. It is the sweetest book!

A very touching story of a mother's anxious wait for her new baby!

This is a very sweet story about a mother sharing with her child how he was her "wish come true" because she had hoped and wished and dreamed of having a baby then one day there he was! It is a perfect story to fill your child with the love you have always felt for him! Highly recommend this book.

SWEET SO SWEET

I LOVE this book. I'm a single mom and this book is perfect for me. I couldn't have told my son any better that he is my wish come true!

Lovely book

This book is adorable. I love the whole concept of the book. It puts into words all the things I want to say to my son, since he is my wish come true.

What a great book!

This is another beautifully written book my Marianne Richmond. The Mother Bear tells the story of her pregnancy to her son. She describes her feelings & emotions. How she couldn't wait for his arrival and how he is "Her wish come true". The baby bear just loves to hear his mother tell him the story. Just like my son loves to hear me read this book. I love to tell my son that he is "my wish come true". Ms.Richmond is an amazing author. You could never go wrong with her books.
