I received an electronic ARC from The Collective Book Studio through Edelweiss+.
Beautifully illustrated story of a parent sharing their wishes and hopes for their child. The wisdom is shared in short rhyming passages that are supported by art to encourage readers to believe in themselves. A lovely gift for new families or families that need a reset to find their way back to encouragement and hope.
