On the Night You Were Born

It's a wonderful book. Not a lot of words but for beginners learning to listen it's great. It is also a little ego builder because it lets little ones know how important they are to the world. Would recomend it to any of my friends. I purchased it for my 2 1/2 year old grand children.

This is a gorgeous book about the miracle of birth. It can help children realize how truly cherished and special they are by witnessing all of creation celebrating their arrival. The book can serve as a springboard for an adoption story or simply explaining how parents celebrated the birth of their little one. It's a book that works equally well for adopted and non-adopted children and it's gender neutral. While I believe this book is best suited for kids 18 months and older, I read it to my one year old and he seems to enjoy it. I think it's an example of children's literature at it's best. I can't see me ever getting rid of this book.

This was a gift for my new grandson -- my daughter and her husband LOVED it! I wrote the baby's name in appropriate places to personalize it.

I ordered the book on the recommendation of a friend. My little grand daughter is only 6 months old and right now she's more interested in tasting the pages than looking at them, but I predict that this will become one of her most requested books.
