This book celebrates the Wisdom Inherent in Our Wee Ones

From the varied quotations to the simple, beautiful photographs this heart felt book reminds us that babies are among our greatest teachers.Quotes include the Dalai Lama who said, "Each individual is a marvelous opportunity" and Confucious' "Wherever you go, go with all your heart", there are others I do not connected with Buddhism: Abraham Maslow, Rumi, Kierkegard.Ah, to learn from babies, our youngest teachers. Buy this book for new parents, for parents whose childrens have grown up and for any adult who needs to be reminded they once too lived life from the Beginner's Mind perspective.

Best baby shower present

I just bought this for all my girlfriends who have children or are pregnant. The photographs celebrate babyhood. They highlight what is inspirational and special about being with a new develping person. Parents often try to express what it means to be in love with their children, and to witness their creativity, wonder and joy, experiencing life's surprises for the first time. This book celebrates babies, and shows us up close how truly unique each one is. I love this book!

Loved this sweet little baby of a book!

This was one of the sweetest, most lovable books I have ever read! The photos and quotes worked so well together and really made me ponder the wonders of babies and the joy they bring us. I'm planning on giving this to all my friends and families with babies. Finally, something to give new grandparents, aunts, uncles... anyone who loves babies! This book is such a simple, yet profound look at the wisdom in babies, not to mention filled with beautiful photos of the magic they bring to our lives! It charms me every time I open it, I completely recommend it, I'm sure it will bring everyone the same twinkly smile it brought me.
