The words are beautiful. The art is beautiful. I'm pretty sure I gasped when I opened the book for the first time. My five-year-old loved it too! She kept wanting to turn back to previous pages to see the pictures again. And as an artist myself, I'm so impressed by the illustrations! Each page is a work of art. And the message is beautiful too. Hands down the best book we have on our bookshelf. Perfect for a little kid's birthday gift or baby shower present.
