On the Day You Were Born (Book)

This is a lovely book and would make an ideal gift for a newborn

This is a really special board book by Debra Frasier. Designed to be read out loud to children, it tells a simple story about how the word of their birth spread between animals and the natural world. More importantly it tells them how special they are and how glad everyone was when they were born.

Every time I read it, it takes me right back to the very first days I spent with my son, James. For any Mum or Dad, the feelings in those first few days are so unique, it is lovely to have something that transports you back prompting those special memories. For that reason this book makes a lovely gift.

It doesn't use cutesy bunny rabbits and teddy bears, it uses unusual animals and the natural forces of nature. I therefore envisage reading this for years to come and it will have educational value for James as well as giving a positive message of love.
