One You

LoveReading4Kids Says

Each page of this beautifully illustrated book features parents or parent to be, as they record in numbers the time spent preparing for the arrival of baby – two hearts beat, six ‘secret’ kicks are felt, nine magic months pass.

The most important number of all though is ‘one’ – in our one wonderful world, there’s now one ‘you’, and ‘nothing else counts more than you’. All sorts of parents are depicted and families of all shapes and sizes, grandparents, friends and siblings appearing too; and they’re in different places – seaside towns, busy cities we’ll all recognise, warm places far away.

Wherever they are, whoever they are, what these families have in common is that sense of joy, anticipation, and overwhelming love for the new baby, which all parents will recognise. The text is perfect for families to share with little ones and it would make a lovely gift for new parents.
