Sun and moon and sky...the love in someone's eye? From the magic of a baby's first sights and sounds to a wish for a far-off day, evocative text and gorgeous illustrations are imbued with the tenderness felt between parents and child. A perfect gift for new mothers and fathers and anyone who cherishes those unforgettable moments--or dreams of a time when their children will see their own little ones smile at them for the first time."--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A celebration of a child's wonder-filled first experiences, and the love between parents and child, from a Pulitzer Prize-nominated, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author and a talented illustrator.</b></p><p><i>Somewhere in the world</i><br><i>the world so far</i><br><i>the world so wide</i><br><i>someone is the youngest person alive.</i></p><p><i>What will be the first sights they see?</i><br><i>Sun and moon and sky...</i><br><i>the love in someone's eye?</i></p><p>From the magic of a baby's first sights and sounds to a wish for a far-off day, evocative text and gorgeous illustrations are imbued with the tenderness felt between parents and child.
