You Were Loved Before You Were Born

Looking for a sweet book to read aloud to your kiddos?  Here is a good one for you.  It could also double as a great shower gift for a mom to be!


You Were Loved Before You Were Born by Eve Bunting tells the sweet story of a first time expectant mother.  The story is told as if she were speaking to her child, which is in part what makes it so sweet. The mother goes through their preparations from the moment "Daddy and I found out we were going to have you..."

The mother goes on to talk about what grandma, grandpa, aunt and cousin did to prepare for the coming of the new baby.  It is sweet to hear about grandpa giving mom a rocker and cousin giving away his baseball cards for the new baby.

Read this book to your new baby or your older school aged child.  I am sure it will spark conversation about what you did to prepare for them. What a great way to spend some one-on-one time with you child!

Happy Reading!
