Synopsis

An account of the early hours of a baby girl's life, from the moment she slides out into the midwife's hands and gives her first cry. The snipping of the cord, early cuddles, the first opening of the eyes, the visitors and the gifts, and the bonding are all included in this book.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A perfect gift for baby showers! Great for new big brother and sisters!

A baby is born. From the first moments of her life, she is able to breathe, open her eyes, and gaze at her mother’s face. Soon she will nurse, suck her thumb, and sleep. With text as tender as a newborn’s cheek, Robie H. Harris tells a story to children about the day they were born, describing how loud they cried and how they could see light, hear sounds, and even sneeze. Together with Michael Emberley’s extraordinary illustrations - each one carefully observed and deeply moving - HAPPY BIRTH DAY! shows children how very much they were loved right from the start.

In this new paperback edition, HAPPY BIRTH DAY! includes an illustrated bookplate that lets parents or gift givers fill in the details of a special baby’s birth.

Biographie de l'auteur

Robie H. Harris says, "This is a story my children asked me to tell them over and over again when they were young. I think they loved hearing about all the things they could do on the day they were born."

Michael Emberley attended two births to prepare his illustrations for HAPPY BIRTH DAY! "It was amazing," he says. "A whole life without experiencing or witnessing a birth would seem incomplete to me now."
