On the Night You Were Born
*Don't worry, this is not a birth-story post as is common on many parenting blogs, that's not my cup of tea.*
If you read our post on Guess How Much I Love You (http://bookbairn.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/guess-how-much-i-love-you.html), you will already know that we enjoy a story to share with BookBairn how special, important, unique and loved she is. We were recently recommended another story, which has a similar sentiment by a fellow bookbairn and I couldn't think of a lovelier story to share today.
"On the night you were born,
the moon smiled with such wonder
that the stars peeked in to see you
and the night wind whispered,
'Life will never be the same.'
Because there had never been anyone like you...
ever in the world."
Isn't it magical? And that's just the first page. This book is a lovely story to share with very little babies and again with older children once they can better appreciate the illustrations and message. But for the moment, when we read this to BookBairn, I hope she felt special and truly truly loved.
Love (On the Night You Were Born... and Always), Mummy and BookBairn x
That story is so sweet! I had a man at Chapters recommend it to me once and get all teared up in the telling. Such a great stry.
ReplyDeleteIt's very poetic! And quite emotional for the grown ups reading it.
DeleteI LOVE handprint crafts! So cute!
ReplyDeleteG'ma BookBairn has double magical nights with Mummy and BookBairn's arrival. Look forward to looking out a pile of these for new baby gifts!
ReplyDeleteYou nearly missed BookBairn! ; )
DeleteOn the night BookBairn's Mummy was born Dennis Taylor won the world snooker championship beating Steve Davis in the final by potting the final black ball in the final frame. Unforgettable for anyone over 40. Unforgettable for me for a different reason. The night BookBairn was born was pretty unforgettable too.
ReplyDeleteI love this! What a sweet little handprint craft. So cute!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely book
ReplyDeleteIt is as much a poem for parents as it is a story for kids! Perfect for bedtime reading!
