About The Book

A new baby is a special gift. In this glorious, warm, and lyrical tribute to life and its cycles, the birth of a baby, her growth, and the birth of her baby are celebrated in a way that will touch all hearts.

Rain and moon, kittens and fish,

snow and grass, elphants

and honey,

I give them to you.

I give them all

to your mother

and you.
