Product Description

Product Description

A mother's welcoming words introduce her new-born child to his earliest sensations in the world: to the warm tickle of his shawl and her hair which he grasps with tiny fingers; to the click of a switch; to the purr of the fireside cat. The baby hears for the first time the sound of laughter, a sneeze, music playing, and is lifted up to see the cars, houses and stars outside. So, cushioned in his mother's love, the baby slips into sleep. This lyrical evocation of a new-born child's first impressions, illuminated by Caroline Binch's illustrations, will enchant anyone who reads or hears it, from young children to grandparents.


From the Publisher

Rave review in The School Librarian
"This is a very rich book in every sense. It is a beautifully observed poetic evocation of the gentle welcome into the family of a newborn baby....The writing by Caroline Binch is everything that we have come to expect from this wonderful illustrator, and then some. Her sensitive, fragile intensly observed paintings of the newborn baby are gems of warmth and delicacy....This is a gem of a picture book, to be returned to again and again. Like all classic work it speaks to all of us. It is a handy book for the Literacy Hour as well as for teaching about living things in the Science National Curriculum, but don't buy it for those reasons, but because it is a lovely, un-put-downable, life affirming picture book that will enrich your life. Buy this one, definitely." School Librarian. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
