24 pages, Hardcover
Taken from Amazon: The first night that one line transformed into two, my heart skipped a beat, then began beating for you.
Our children may grow out of the laps that they sit on and
the arms that hold them, but they will never grow out of the place they have in
our hearts. From the first night they lay on our chest, to the many other
firsts of life, to long after they’ve grown up and left the nest, our hearts
are always their homes, and they are forever our babies.
First Night depicts this cherished connection
between mom and baby from one heart to the other. With soft, warm illustrations
and a narrative capturing the beginning of pregnancy, the baby being born, the
child growing up, and everything in between, this touching tale will deeply
resonate with any mother and will remind every child that they are completely
and unconditionally loved—as they were from their very first heartbeat.
My Thoughts: The
illustrations in this book are soft and sweet.
I can feel the mom’s love as I look at each page. I love the comfort and quietness of the
pictures. This would be a calming book
to read at bedtime or a quiet time with your child.
The story is not for every family. This story
of a baby can lead to questions that the child may not be able to
understand. But the overall theme is
how much this mother loves her baby from the very first minute they know about
the baby.
Thank you to Balloon Books for a copy of the book in
