On the Day You Were Born
On the Day You Were Born – A Celebration of New Life
By Margaret Wild | Illustrated by Ron Brooks
A tender and poetic picture book that celebrates the wonder of birth, family, and the beauty of seeing the world anew through the eyes of a child.
Description
From the moment a baby enters the world, everything feels transformed. In this heartfelt story, a father gently shares memories of the day his child was born—wrapping them in warmth, carrying them out into the world, and returning them to the loving embrace of family.
“My daddy said, On the day you were born, I wrapped you up warm and took you for a walk to see the world...”
With simple yet powerful language and evocative illustrations, this book captures the profound joy, connection, and sense of wonder that accompanies new life.
