Americancivilwar.com Review |
"On the eve of your birth ... the Earth and her creatures with the Sun and the Moon all moved in their places, each ready to greet you the very first moment of the very first day you arrived." Every child loves to hear the story of how he or she came into the world, but usually very little attention is paid to how the world was in that magical moment. For any family who feels a special connection to nature and the flow of life, On the Day You Were Born will help baby understand how each of us is received not just by our family, but by the universe and its gentle ways. The simple, bright pictures in Debra Frasier's book recall Matisse, and they won the book a Parents' Choice Award for illustration. In the final pages, each illustration and theme in the book (migrating animals, gravity, glowing moon, rising tide, etc.) is explained in simple and direct language that can be used to teach older children how nature works on our planet, and how Earth works in the universe. This beautiful hardcover book is accompanied by a washable, soft rattle that has a donut-shaped yellow handle with "Welcome" embroidered on it in blue thread. The head of the rattle is a round, blue sky embroidered with yellow stars and a red figure of a child dancing. (From birth) --Katherine Ferguson |

Beautiful Baby Gift |
|
This is a beautiful book to celebrate a new baby. It is a book that can be read by adults (or older siblings) and enjoyed as the 'baby' gets old enough to read it! |

Very Special |
|
I love this book, and so have the parents of the newborns that have received it as a baby gift. I believe a child needs to know that he/she is a very special creation, and this book honors the child appropriately. |

Based on the reviews, I bought this book for my nephew's first birthday.
The concept was great, but the abstract pictures and abstract poetry, I believe, does not resonate with the reader, be it adult or child.

From parent to child |
|
I bought this book for my son as a birthday present, as he and I both like stories with Native American influences. He has read it many times since receiving it, especially when he wants to feel closer to me or to get through a bad day. This book is a wonderful addition to any young child's collection of stories. |

On The Day You Were Born |
This is a book we give as a gift for new babies and their families. It is a beautiful book with colorful illustrations and meaningful text. It is definitely a "keepsake".
