My baby loves it
This is a lovely high contrast book for little babies. My 11 month old loves looking at the different illustrations and we both enjoy reading it together. The book definitely captures babies attention.

Lovely little book for newborns
Cute little contrast book for newborns, a nice one to throw in the bag or pull out for a quick connection time during an awake window.

Great Contrast Colours for Developing Infants
Really cute little book ideal for newborns and small babies. The contrast colours are eye catching for infants, my 3 month old loved looking at the pictures whilst I read to him. The storyline is really sweet and touching, resonating with parents on how special their baby is to them and how fate brought them into their lives. A little expensive for a short story but worth it for a book which is enjoyable to read and entertaining for the baby.

A love story to parenthood.
Our favourite book perfect for newborn days and still going strong with our 2 year old! We recite the book all the time and love the artwork. Will forever be a treasured book for us that we'll keep for our future grandchildren. 💜

Beautiful book
Honestly, after 4 years of trying for a child and multiple IVFs to finally have our daughter, this book brings me to tears every time I read it. It is so beautiful and really emphasises how much we love our little ones. Not sure who loves it more, her or me!

Lovely
I wasn't expecting this book to make me cry, but it's so beautiful, I love it. Warning though, if you've lost a baby or child before, this book hits hard on the first and second read!

Super recomendado. Lleno de amor y ternura.
Mi preferido. Se lo obsequié a mi nieto cuando nació, el ya tiene 6 meses y cada vez que voy a su casa trato de leerlo con él. Lo que dice el libro es realmente lo que sentíamos por él antes que naciera y obviamente siempre será así. Muy amado.

Beautiful book for babies and parents
I purchased this book for my baby but ended up liking it even more than my baby does haha! I always get emotional reading it and have purchased it as a baby shower gift for a few of my friends.

It had to be this book
This high-contrast book has quickly become a favorite in our home! The visuals are simple yet engaging, making it perfect for capturing our newborn’s attention during tummy time or quiet moments. The short, rhyming poem adds a sweet and calming touch, creating a lovely bonding experience for us. The book’s length is ideal for keeping a newborn’s focus, and the sturdy design is great for little hands as they grow. Highly recommend this as an early introduction to books—it’s educational, adorable, and a joy to read!

Baby-Approved
This book has become one of our favourites. The high contrast book allows baby to “read along.” The message is beautiful, heartwarming, and relatable. You might need a tissue. My baby also loves hearing this book!
