Illustrated by
Linda Saport.
A child is told how the world responded to her birth: parents were filled with delight, the family pets "seemed to know you were well worth the wait," and "God wrote your days in a book and sent you to us." The text, though at times rather oblique, is a poetic and romantic view of birth, with equally soft, ethereal charcoal and pastel illustrations. The general religious content is lightly handled.
