I just received a package in the mail from my mom, things for the new baby. Included was a book titled "On the Night You Were Born" by Nancy Tillman. I am not usually a fan of sentimental children's books, but this book stands out in the crowd.
The illustrations are creative and beautiful. The message of the book: the world rejoices with each birth of a child. "So enchanted with you were the wind and the rain that they whispered the sound of your wonderful name...until everyone heard it and everyone knew of the one and only ever you."
I have certainly been touched by the kindness and generosity showered on me and my family in celebration for the birth of our Teddy.
