On the Night You Were Born

My parents got this book for my daughter's 2nd birthday. Within two days, I'd read it to her over 10 times (at her request). She loved the parts where we'd say her name. She loved the part about silly, wiggly, wonderful toes (I would tickle her toes at that point.) She whispers along that "Life will never be the same." She has something on each page that she likes to point out and talk about (the illustrations are just beautiful). For over three months straight, this beat out every other book we have in our (rather extensive) library. And you know what? I didn't mind. I really loved reading a book to her that emphasised what we all feel - she is wonderful, unique, and a joyous addition to the world.

This book makes every child feel so special-
I will order them for all of the little ones
on my gift list!

A beautiful book for a newborn. It is lovely - I can't read it without getting teary eyed.

I bought this for my soon-to-be nephew who is being adopted from Ethiopia. I am now buying it for all my friends with little ones, since mine are too old. It is absolutely lovely! It made me cry when I read it the first time, and then I read it to my girls and we all cried! It is a must buy.
