This was written by Neil Gaiman nine years ago for a friend who was expecting a long-awaited baby girl. As word of this lovely poem spread, Gaiman found himself doling out copies to many other mothers-to-be who could see the magic and kindness of it. Eventually, his friend Charles Vess (artist extrordinaire) read it and fate took over.
The result - now it's a beautifully illustrated book that all can enjoy.

The publisher has put together a wonderful video that combines Vess’ images with Gaiman’s reading of the text…the beautiful words almost sound like a magic spell.
