Before You Were Born
English
By (author): Deborah Kerbel Suzanne Del Rizzo
Perfect for Mothers Day or a baby shower gift, a celebration of a familys anticipation of a new baby
BeforeYou were a song in our hearts, a star in our eyes.
Told from the perspective of new parents welcoming their baby to the world, this touching love letter to young children by Governor Generals Literary Awardnominated author Deborah Kerbel describes with lyrical grace all of the promise held by new life. As the seasons change from fall through winter and into spring, the expectant parents anticipation over the babys arrival is mirrored in the animals around the familys seaside home, marrying the natural world to the familys experience.
Suzanne Del Rizzo, author-illustrator of My Beautiful Birds a New York Times Notable Childrens Books selection and winner of the 2018 SCBWI Crystal Kite Award adds an intricately tactile element with her lush illustrations rendered in polymer clay and acrylic wash, depicting the animals in scenes at times playful and other times serene.
