S. Stone

This is a wonderful book to give as a "big brother or sister" gift when a new child arrives in a family. In a poetic and comforting way, it shares a family's experience on the day their child was born. The story flows gracefully and whimsically as do the exquisite illustrations that are in perfect sync with the story. This is the kind of children's book you keep and revisit for years to come!

The type of book you keep off of the shelf and out on display!

The illustrations are colorful and fun and the story is calming and sweet. A great gift idea for new parents and grandparents.

Great Bedtime Read!

This is a wonderful and comforting book to read to your children and grandchildren. Loved the glorious colored illustrations and the song-like prose. All my friends, and their little ones, also loved this book. ELEANOR CANTOR

Great whimsical book!

A beautiful book for toddlers to see and hear over and over again! We loved the illustrations of the birthday cake and of the mice enjoying it. This book prompts great discussion about the night our kids were born. Enjoy it like we have!!

The Illustrations "Blew Me Away"

While there are other similar books, I truly loved this one with such bright whimsical illustrations. My children loved reading along with me. A great bedtime read!!!!
