A new arrival in a world of shared wonders

A baby’s arrival is placed within a wider natural cycle: news of the coming birth travels among animals as the moon, tides, and rain move across the planet. Debra Frasier connects the intimate change of welcoming a child with patterns found throughout the natural world. Cut-paper collage illustrations accompany the text, giving the book a visual dimension rooted in the same connection between family and nature.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Families introducing young children to the idea of a new baby
  • Children interested in animals and the natural world
  • Adults looking for a picture book to share aloud with children
