Summary: A Book That Honors Children
Review: Anyone can easily identify with this book, which finds words to convey the magic and wonder that is felt before the arrival of a baby. Told from a grandmother's point of view, it honors children and shows the connection and sense of wonderment we have for them before their arrival, and once they are born. The art is perfectly matched to the lyrical text and I noticed the added bonus of each text page being a different pastel color. I will keep this book in mind the next time I hear a pregnancy announced.

Summary: THOUGHTS FROM A GRANDMA
Review: I am a grandma of 8 grandchildren under the age of 4 yrs old. I read this book and loved it! Eventhough I have 8 grandchildren, each one of their births have been very special, and this book says what my feelings have been for each one. I am so thankful I found this book in the library while looking for books for my 4 yr old grandson to read. Thank you Anne Bowen and Greg Shed for a beautiful book!

Summary: Happy Tears
Review: My daughter and I read daily but few books have moved us emotionally as this one. We both had tears in our eyes as she realized how much Grandma loved her even before she was born. This is a must have for all Grandchildren and Grandmothers. Just have a box of tissue nearby.

Summary: all grandmas will want this....
Review: This is a wonderful, gentle story for all grandmas to read to their new grandbabies. It has all the joy and anticipation and tenderness and love of waiting for and then holding that wonderful baby. I read it to my two year old grandson this weekend and we both loved it. The illustrations are beautiful watercolors that greatly enhance the text.

Summary: Wonderful warm book for all grandmas to share
Review: This lovely book blends soft, painted illustrations with loving text about the great anticipation of an expected grandchild. It mirrors my thoughts as I waited for my first grandson this summer. I think the book is valuable for conveying to a slightly older child the sense of joy he brought to his family before he was even born, let alone after his arrival, and that he is a valued and greatly loved member of a family with differing generational expections and anticipations. You will love sharing this book with a grandchild.
