The sun shines, the moon glows; the tides rise, the rain falls - and a new baby is welcomed to our spinning world. With more than a million copies in print, this beloved classic is the perfect book to remind little ones, "We are so glad you've come!"

I believe that this is the very first book that I had purchased to read to my baby that I had never seen before. I instantly fell in love with the unique illustrations and the span of science mixed with poetry throughout the story. While little kids may not get why a lot of the reasons why the things are happening (gravity, the sun being in "space") but they will understand there is some connection between them and the world around them on the earth. And later, when your kids are a little older, you might be able to read them the same story and start to explain some of the concepts like tides and phases of the moon and the like. The only problem I could see very few people having is the very subtle description of how the child is born ("Then, with a push, you slipped out of the dark quiet") and wouldn't want to have to explain that one, but I think that overall the book is a fantastic way to connect science, beauty and love of the world. |

This book makes me cry- every time. It just goes into depth of how the world changes when your child was born...feelings you think only you felt as a parent and the book describes how one small child has a significant influence on the whole world around them.
