  • Wonderful!

    This book more than met my expectations. It is a heartfelt story that I can't wait to read over and over again to my soon-to-be born grandson. The pictures are lovely, the colors vibrant.

  • Bought Two

    I saw this book in a specialty store for the listed price and decided to wait and look online. I was pleased to find it on Overstock and ordered two for two new granddaughters--one born in May and a second due in November. I'm an educator, so I know the value of building self-esteem in a young child--something that will give them the confidence they need to succeed in life. I can't wait to read these books to my two granddaughters when they are old enough. My only regret is that Overstock did not carry the stuffed polar bear that accompanies the book--will have to purchase off another site. The two together would make a perfect gift for a new baby.

Ask a Question

Be the first to ask a question about this product.
  • The birth of a baby-"the one and only ever you"-causes jubilation throughout creation in this quietly celebratory picture book from newcomer Tillman. Polar bears dance, giraffes weave to the sound of brass horns, and "the moon smiled with such wonder/ that the stars peeked in to see you/ and the night wind whispered,/ `Life will never be the same.' " Tillman successfully sidesteps the soft-focus sappiness that can accompany this genre. Her writing has the authenticity of whispered conversation; occasionally, she pauses in her exaltations of the baby to address the subject directly: "I think I'll count to three so you can wiggle your toes for me." Her strong, assured paintings truly set this book apart. The pictures subtly radiate golden glints of moonlight, and her almost sculptural rendering style gives her characters a hefty physicality that counterbalances the ethereal sentiments being expressed. Although one suspects that grown-ups will be most taken with the topic and treatment, this is one of those rare baby books that should make both skeptics and sentimentalists of all ages happy.
