Booklist Review
| Both the language and artwork is sophisticated in this board book that welcomes a new child into the world and explains how important he or she is to their parents. Ultimately, it does not matter whether the listening toddler understands every word. There is a smoothness and softness to both the message and the rhythm of the text, to which little ones will respond: You are life / and breath adored. You are us / and so much more. The collage-style art featuring an Asian family has a warm elegance that parents will enjoy and whimsical touches that will appeal to children.--Cooper, Ilene Copyright 2010 Booklist |
