FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Based on a journal she kept when her granddaughter was new, Darling Baby celebrates life with a baby. Like Tell Me Again About the Night I was Born and The Night You Were Born, this book offers a telling for young children about the time before they can remember, a phase about which they are endlessly curious. Like Vera Williams' classic More, More, More Said the Baby, this book bursts with the joy and love shared with babies and their multigenerational family members. With resonant simplicity, the book conveys the way that a baby, even when very small, is the center of a world of joy and enduring love.
