About this listen
★ "Van Camp composes a lyrical ode to a newborn child, which is matched in its loveliness by Flett's exquisite, collage-like images of a young one with his or her parents.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

"A contemporary Metis child and his family are shown as the child grows from infancy to toddlerhood. Joy in life and the world about them are lovingly depicted in spare, but evocative text that is paired with Flett's exquisite mixed-media illustrations." (Debbie Reese)
"Both the language and artwork is sophisticated in this board book that welcomes a new child into the world and explains how important he or she is to their parents…There is a smoothness and softness to both the message and the rhythm of the text, to which little ones will respond…The collage-style art featuring an Asian family has a warm elegance that parents will enjoy and whimsical touches that will appeal to children."―Booklist
"This tender celebration of babies features gentle rhymes and warm, understated illustrations…The art has the look of cut paper, with distinct lines and pleasingly curved shapes...Eschewing the overt cuteness often seen in board books, the artist captures the toddler's joy in subtle, but tangible images...The family feels real and specific, and the message...will resonate with all readers."―School Library Journal (SLJ)
