On The Night You Were Born

Author/Illustrator: Nancy Tillman
Format: Hardcover Picture Book
Pages: 32
Recommended Age: Newborn +

From author/illustrator Nancy Tillman comes this beautiful(and very sentimental) picture book all about how special and unique each new baby is. With passages like "the night wind whispered, 'life will never be the same'", the basic premise of this book is to tell a baby that when he or she was born the whole world rejoiced. It emphasizes the uniqueness of each new life without being overly sappy. Absolutely stunning illustrations accompany sweet, lyrical text.

This book is a perfect book for parents to read to a new baby(admittedly, this is one of those books that is more for the parents than it is for the baby, but kids who grow up with it will likely remember it with the same fondness as books like Runaway Bunny and Guess How Much I Love You). It is also a perfect baby shower gift, pair it with a stuffed polar bear and the baby journal The Wonder Of You: A Book Celebrating Baby's First Year.
