This is a cute story about a little baby named Suki. The story starts with Suki being one-day-old and progresses month by month until Suki’s first birthday.

I enjoy reading the simplicity yet powerful writings of Peter McCarty. I think this is a great book to read for those students who are expecting a new member in their family. This particular book is also written in a very poetic style.

Most of my childhood was spent in my head. I was usually recreating a battle from World War II or running from dinosaurs in prehistoric times. To this day, I develop characters and environments based on worlds I first creat...more
