A perfect gift for any parent celebrating the arrival of a child. With breathtaking illustrations and a sweet rhyming text, Golden Globe and Emmy-winning screenwriter and director Cindy Chupack’s debut picture book celebrates the moment a child and parent form a family.

“We waited for you.

Sometimes it seemed everybody we knew even bears at the zoo had a baby or two

but we waited for you.

We dreamed about you.

Dreamed about all the adventures we’d share once you were there

safe in our care, sweet dreams of you.”
