In this precious children's book, beloved by parents, grandparents, and admirers of newborn babies everywhere, the sweet, whimsical poetry of the words and the tender heartfelt drawings make this book a truly special keepsake.
In through the hospital window "flying blue stork with baby on his beak, Mommy just laughs and Daddy freaks!" Daddy can't believe his eyes as the wind hollers and blows, and tears roll down his cheek with love for his new baby boy.
At home everyone is eagerly awaiting the baby's arrival. He is already loved so much more than he knows by a big loud fun-loving family. All the relatives come to visit him on his first day home. They bring gifts; "a rubber duckie, a sailboat, and a toy sailor named "Roy."
Nonna made tomato sauce that's so thick, she even made "meatballs on a blue wooden stick!" There is laughter and cheer as the newest addition to the family is cuddled, rocked and adored. Everyone takes photos and lots of "selfies." After dinner everyone eats cake and shortbread cookies that Grandma baked. The cousins gather around the baby's nursery to play with baby's new toys. Tula the family puppy is so excited. She leaps high in air for joy, barks and runs in a circle.
After a long day Mommy and Daddy are so happy but need some sleep. Their lives will be changed forevermore now that Daddy, Mommy, baby, and Tula the puppy, are four!
Our Baby to Love is a treasured book; a must for every new parent and a beautiful gift for baby showers and baby's homecoming day.
