Every parent dreams of embracing their new child, and when that dream comes true, it’s as if all of creation rejoices with them.

In the tradition of Nancy Tillman’s On The Night You Were Born and Emily Winfield Martin’s The Wonderful Things You Will Be comes The Wonder That Is You by critically-acclaimed author Glenys Nellist.

This heartwarming picture book beautifully captures the universal love and joy parents feel as they celebrate the arrival of a new child. A perfect gift for baby showers, baptisms, adoptions, birthdays, or any time you want to tell your little one how much they are loved.

It felt as if the world stood still

The day my dream came true,

And all creation paused to see The wonder that is you.

It felt as if the trees clapped hands And as their leaves unfurled,

They whispered softly in the breeze, Welcome to our world.
