Beautiful Baby Gift 
2008-12-24
This is a beautiful book to celebrate a new baby. It is a book that can be read by adults (or older siblings) and enjoyed as the 'baby' gets old enough to read it!
Very Special 2008-12-14
I love this book, and so have the parents of the newborns that have received it as a baby gift. I believe a child needs to know that he/she is a very special creation, and this book honors the child appropriately.

Based on the reviews, I bought this book for my nephew's first birthday.
The concept was great, but the abstract pictures and abstract poetry, I believe, does not resonate with the reader, be it adult or child.
From parent to child 
2008-07-11
I bought this book for my son as a birthday present, as he and I both like stories with Native American influences. He has read it many times since receiving it, especially when he wants to feel closer to me or to get through a bad day. This book is a wonderful addition to any young child's collection of stories.
On The Day You Were Born 2008-05-14
This is a book we give as a gift for new babies and their families. It is a beautiful book with colorful illustrations and meaningful text. It is definitely a "keepsake".

The Little One Enjoys It...Me, Not So Much 
2008-03-27
In simple words and radiant collages, Debra Frasier celebrates the natural miracles of the earth and extends an exuberant welcome to each member of our human family. Accompanied by a detailed glossary explaining such natural phenomena as gravity, tides, and migration, this is an unforgettable book. "A book filled with reverence for the natural order of the world and the place of the individual in it."--School Library Journal
Perfect birthday gift for a new baby 2008-02-15
This is a lovely gift for a new baby (forget the layette items, people get too many anyway!) - this and On the Night You Were Born are the books I send to all the new people I know. The sentiment in this book is perfect. In the prose-like text of this book, the little one is welcomed by the earth - the pictures are bold and fun to look at. I love it.
A Family Tradition 2008-02-09
This wonderful book has become a personal tradition in my family. I give a copy to the parents for each new baby born. What better way to welcome the newest additions.
Simple but deep! 2008-01-28
My daughter loves this book and so do I! A great book to introduce the concept that we are one with the earth and all her creatures, as well as teach about all the scientific aspects of gravity, oxygen, stars...I highly recommend it! A really great gift too!
Adorable book, great for toddlers 2008-01-18
