On the Night You Were Born

This book was a gift from my mother in law to my daughter shortly after she was born. The first time I read it to her, it moved me so much that I could hardly finish. The story is simple, beautiful and still brings to me tears every time that I read it to my daughter. It is rare to find in someone else's words the complete expression of how much I love her and how happy I am that she was born into our family. The story tells how special the baby was to the world and how the earth celebrated her birth.

The artwork is stunning, the words lyrical, and I can't think of a book that I enjoyed receiving more since my daughter was born. She's not old enough to enjoy it as much as she will later & we have to be careful of the paper pages so they don't rip as she helps me turn them. Regardless of that, it's a wonderful thing to read & express to your baby how special she is to you.

This is a beautiful book & story! Every child should have it read to them over & over. Later in life they will remember the images and feel love, support & comfort.

I have purchased this book several times for new parents and they have all loved it. The pictures are lovely and the words flow nicely. Very nice book to read aloud, starting when the baby can sit on your lap and listen. I predict you will love it if you buy it!

This book was given to me as a baby shower gift. Many nights before my daughter was born, I would sit in the nursery and read aloud "On the Night You Were Born". This book was one of the most important items packed in my hospital bag and the night our Ava Claire was born, my husband and I read it to her for the first time with tears streaming down our checks. Our Baby is now 7 months old and it still gives me chills. We plan to make it a tradition to read this book at bedtime on each birthday. I also have purchased several books to give to friends since it is such a wonderful gift that I will ALWAYS cherish!

This book is absolutely beautiful! It made both my husband and I cry (that doesn't happen often!). The words spoke to me as a mommy and the way I feel about my sweet baby. It also has beautiful illustrations. The dancing polar bears are my fave! You have to get this book!!
