Synopsis Author Joan Walsh Anglund is recognized the world over for her touching themes of love, friendship, and spirituality. Baby Dear combines Joan’s original charming illustrations with heartwarming text to create a darling hardcover keepsake for new parents. Here is a sampling of the precious words Joan writes in celebration of a new baby: Baby’s so little . . . and Baby’s so new . . . mouth, sweet as a berry . . . voice, soft as dove’s coo. A darling whirlwind has just claimed our home . . . first, creeping . . . then, crawling . . . in such a hurry to roam. Before we know it Baby sits up so straight . . . Next, Baby’s walking with a toddley gait. It doesn’t take long before Baby can run . . . with all of us, chasing . . . Baby thinks that’s such fun! A delicate ribbon marker adds a special touch to this unique, thoughtful gift.
