When the World Was Waiting for You
by Gillian Shields
illustrated by Anna Currey
This special book captures the freshness and excitement of waiting for a new baby to arrive. A delightful family of rabbits is full of anticipation. The mother and older children are making the baby’s room all warm and snug. The waiting is almost unbearable for the sisters and brothers. Finally the big day arrives! “We held you close and spoke your name, so full of joy, so glad you came.'” Then the rest of the family -- aunts, uncles, and cousins -- arrive and the joy grows and spreads to all.
The illustrations in this book are delicately water-colored and full of whimsical details that make the book one you will always want to keep on the shelf to take down again and again. It's perfect for families who want to help older children feel the rightness and goodness of a new baby's arrival.
