Overview
In simple words and radiant collages, Debra Frasier celebrates the natural miracles of the earth and extends an exuberant welcome to each member of our human family. Accompanied by a detailed glossary explaining such natural phenomena as gravity, tides, and migration, this is an unforgettable book. “A book filled with reverence for the natural order of the world and the place of the individual in it.”—School Library Journal
The earth celebrates the birth of a newborn baby.
Synopsis
Our bestselling baby gift, available as a board book for the first time.
Children's Literature
For more than fifteen years, this book has been a favorite gift to give new and expectant parents to celebrate the birth of their child. All of the earth seemed to know about this momentous event as word spread among the animals and the sun, moon, and earth awaited the baby's arrival. The sun lit up the day, the moon the night and "offered to bring a full, bright face, each month to your windowsill." How fascinating to think that this entire world was made for a human child to enjoy and to thrive. The joy is echoed by the people who also waited for this birth "`Welcome to the green Earth,' the people sang, as they wrapped your wet, slippery body. And as they held you close." Young ones will also enjoy the lovely story of how welcome they are.
