Every life is precious, but those who come into this world too early, fighting from the very moment they are born, are special in a way that can only be understood by their mothers.

Charting moments of joy, fear, uncertainty, and relief, this bedtime read will help comfort and inspire children in times of doubt and insecurity.

Precious!
I gave birth to two premature babies, and I wish I would have had this book at the time. I believe they will still enjoy it at nine and 11. It is beautifully written and explains the miracles that are preemies.

Cute book
This sweet story is perfect for families who have had a preemie baby. It's a different situation all together knowing you have to leave your new born at the hospital. This book will help other families who have been through this experience feel connected. The illustrations are colorful and add an extra special meaning to the book. This also makes a wonderful bedtime story for parents to share with their own preemie child as they grow up.

What a heartwarming story!
This book teared me up. It was so beautiful and so touching at the same time to meet Malik through this book. His journey is both inspiring and very encouraging; he is a warrior and superhero and I cannot witness what he will become when he grows up. The story was well written and the illustrations are so beautiful too. I highly recommend this book. Check it out!

Such a sweet story of hope for premature babies!
This book had very lovely and colorful illustrations. A sweet story about an expectant mother and her journey while giving birth to a premature baby and waiting for him to get well enough to go home. Great for mothers who are looking for a book to read to their bundle of joy who come early.

What an amazing story
My younger cousin was a preemie so I read this story to him. He was so excited at the end when the baby who had been through so much as so young was already a super hero at so young. That is so true! Preemies and their families go through sooo much and the story was told so beautifully in a way that makes this experience so powerful!

So Sweet❤️
This story is told from the mom’s point of view. This little preemie baby boy experienced many ups and down in his early life but the author really gives a great timeline of what a preemie goes through. This would be wonderful gift for a child who was a preemie.

Sweet story
This book brought me back to having my own children. This baby was a premie but all moms can relate. This is a great story to read to your children to tell them how much you love them. This book would also be a great gift for a new mom.

As I read this story I imagined my daughter and my Niece’s voices as the mother narrating every word. Both experienced this journey. This is so needed & so beautifully done.
