Baby Blessings: A Prayer for the Day You Are Born

by Deloris Jordan

Book Description

This celebration of family life exalts the blessings and hopes a mother and father feel for their new baby. The text consists of the baby's parents' simple declarations of reassurance, love, and inspiration. Ransome's realistic illustrations, rendered in oil, depict the African-American youngster's growth from his birth to his first day of school. Sometimes the illustrations cover a full page opposite a single short line of text; others cover a spread. The artwork always reflects the family's joy and love. This warm book fits in snugly with the many works celebrating parental love for a child.
