On the Night You Were Born

With Christmas less than a month away, something I always look forward to is getting a few new books. If anyone is looking for something sweet to get for a child or new mom check out "On the Night You Were Born" by Nancy Tillman. I came across it at Sam's Club recently and wish I had it with me when I gave birth to my son Damien three months ago. I couldn't stop staring at him in the hospital. It would have been nice to read this book to him when he was just a few hours old. Here is an excerpt:

On the night you were born, the moon smiled with such wonder that the stars peeked in to see you and the night wind whispered, "Life will never be the same." Because there had never been anyone like you ever in the world.
