Sweet picture book describing the love and thoughts of a new mom towards her new baby. The text and illustrations are both simple. Would make a good story time book on new babies.Aside: I always thought Aliki was a man. But while I read this book I think "he" had truly captured the feelings of a new mother. Turns out Aliki is a woman.

So simple and poignant. It's nearly perfect! The only want I would add is "to be held."I'm sure the fact that I just became a grandma has something to do with how drawn I am toward this sweet book. :)

This is such a sweet book to read to a brand-new baby; I wish I had had it on hand when my son was born. It has simple illustrations, but they make an impact (and I was especially thrilled to see an illustration of the mother nursing her baby, hooray!). It's an all-around charming and gentle book.

Simple story about the first days of a baby's life.

A sweet, gentle book, with tender illustration. I was especially excited to see an illustration of a mother nursing her baby. :)

can't readaloud due to breastfeeding picture. book was sweet and welcomes a baby to the family. comforting.

Basic new-baby introduction which goes overboard on the schmaltz.

Love this book, very sweet way to welcome baby into the world. I love reading it to my daughter and adding her little brother's name to the book!
