On the Night Before You Turn One

The perfect gift for children turning one, this touching picture book celebrates growth and fondly looks back on the first year

On the night before you turn one I'll rock you in our chair And smell the last of the baby smell That tiptoes through your hair.

On the night before her infant's first birthday, a mother reflects on the beautiful journey they've had together from birth, soaking in one last night of her baby as a baby. Most parents can relate to the sense of loss as our children grow and simultaneous pride in their growth and excitement for the future. She dreams of the wonderful milestones to come while acknowledging that time seems to be moving too fast. With sweet illustrations by Gregorio De Lauretis of the bestselling Made for Me, and rhyming text from Kristie Graves, this picture book is the perfect gift for a child's first birthday-even if the one who really needs it is the parent!
