Sweetest story.
This is such a sweet story! I love reading it to my kids. They love all of the pictures. There are some really moving lines in this book.
Amazon Customer –
Wonderful, Well written childrenâs book
Helpful suggestion to seller: to ensure the book arrives without being knocked about during shipping- wrap future books in bubble wrap or some other means of keeping book(s) from damage to edges. The two books I ordered were intact – Was pleased with that but whoever packed the box for shipping seemed not to care.This book is definitely a lovely, beautiful sentiment for a child and definitely a keepsake!

Such a sweet story.
Got these books for my grandsons. They arrived promptly; however, one of the company’s sent me the wrong book. Besides that, the book is in great shape and wonderful story.

sweet, tender bedtime story.
IfThe few people who didn’t love this book seemed to find it too mushy or self centered. I would like to address these issues in my review. First, yes, it is totally, wonderfully mushy. If you can’t stand that stuff, this might not be the choice for you. If you can, this story reads like a tender lullaby that captures the love we have for our children. Second, is it catering to a generation of self important brats? Does it imply that your child is the center of the universe? Some parents think that this story over emphasizes how special our children are. “On the night you were born, the moon smiled with such wonder…” They wonder how to explain to their children that stars don’t peek at them and polar bears don’t dance for them. The story essentially is just giving several examples of the beauty of nature and implies that animals and rain, etc, are celebrating and loving that child. I see these as sweet examples of creation and how each child is deeply connected to all of it. I could read it to any child (not only my own) and genuinely mean it everytime- yes, you are that special. Kids who do develop an inflated sense of self importance, well, they didn’t get it from sharing a loving bed time story, so don’t worry!Beyond all of that, the illustrations are just beautiful, the story is lovely and poetic. My favorite parts (and my toddlers) are where the story pauses to address the child directly. “So enchanted with you were the wind and the rain that they whispered the sound of your wonderful name. (The sound of your name is a magical one. Let’s say it out loud before we go on…”) And again later, as it pauses to let the child wiggle their “silly, wiggly, wonderful toes.” It is so cute to watch your toddler wiggle his toes as you read this to him. It ends with three simple words of profound truth and importance: You are loved.

Beautiful book
This book tells the sweet story about the night a child was born. Itâs the perfect book to bring to a baby shower.

Thick paged book. Love the message of this book. How special a child is. I read it to my 6 year old granddaughter and she loves and picks out parts of the story. The moon is up morning next day. And hearing the geese in the sky. While we are walking to school she relates the story to real life things! She is special!â¤ï¸
