Needed a picture book for a reading challenge. This was a cute one.

Arguably the best line in this very sweet, poetic book is the quote on the end papers: "The day you were born is the day God decided that the world could not exist without you," by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov. I thought the sentiment of this book was ever so tender and the lines very simple and beautiful. Nice read for a parent to a child. Best for the youngest.

Very similar to On the Day You Were Born. Quick, cute read with nice, vibrant illustrations.
