(3) PS Illustrated by David Diaz. In lilting, evocative text, a mother enumerates the riches of the life she had before her baby was born ("Before you came, I had a garden of blue morning glories..."). She then explains that all of those elements are now better because they are shared with her child. Warm, flowing illustrations keep pace with the impressionistic text.
