I bought this book when my oldest son was a newborn, and it has now become my trademark baby shower gift. It so simply explains the love parents have for their children and is illustrated beautifully. Four years of reading this book and I still choke up. This is a great bed time story to the kiddos when you've had a rough day! It reminds you how deep and pure the love is between parents and a child.

This book is perfect for anyone who had pregnancy problems. Very pretty pictures. Really good gift.

This is a BEAUTIFUL book, the illustrations alone are worth the purchase!
The sweet story/love song is a wonderful story about how much we truly adore and celebrate our sweet babies birth, and lives.

I read it to my baby girl all the time, and I will continue to for years to come! You will love this book!

I cried the first time I read this book to my baby. After years of fertility issues, this book covered every emotion I felt after the birth of my first child. It would be a wonderful baby shower gift for any new mother and father.

This is a very sweet book that would make a wonderful baby gift or 1st b-day gift. It is one of those special books that will make mommy cry happy tears...

My 2 year-old daughter just loves this book. While I read it to her she sits intently listening through the whole book. The words and the pictures I feel portray to her little mind how important she is to us!

This book is awesome! It really "speaks" for anyone who went through years of trying to have a baby. I was first drawn to this book by the beautiful illustrations and then when I read the story I knew I had to buy it. Every time I read it, I can't help but shed a tear. I will read it again and again to my daughter...the love from a parent to a child is beautifully conveyed in this book.

This book is incredibly beautiful -- both the message and the illustrations. I bought this for a friend who has miscarried and is now expecting again. I will give it to her when the baby is born. It will probably make mommy and daddy cry happy tears.

My favorite page... "We'd dreamed a baby, we'd wanted a baby, we'd planned for a baby, we waited and waited for a baby until finally, there was you."

This book is so sweet and beautiful. My son does not really like to have books read to him, except this one. I have always added his name to the end of each line..."we'd wanted a baby, we'd planned for a baby, we waited and waited and waited for a baby, until finally there was you, Colby." That seemed to keep his interest. It worked so well that I was able to have him sit calmly through several of his dreaded haircuts by just captivating him with the recitation of this book from my memory. Now I buy it as gifts for people I know who have a new baby.
