Book Recommendation

I found this sweet little paperback book at a thrift store, several months ago. I finally decided to pick it up and read it (figured the timing was appropriate, with our new little one's birthday coming up so soon!!) It is titled "In Celebration of Babies", written by Carol Tannenhauser and Cheryl Moch. It's a beautiful little compilation of poetry, quotes, snippets of advice, and stories, written by beloved poets, famous celebrities, and also many lesser or even unknown authors. The beauty of the book is enhanced with gorgeous photos and paintings of babies, along with mothers, fathers and others. Some of the literary works shared are whimsical, others more grounded. Some light, and others darker. An excerpt from the back cover "Moving, wise, witty, timeless-In Celebration of Babies is for anyone who has ever smiled at a baby's cribside or remembered a mother's lullaby." I'm really enjoying it, and just had to share a recommendation! :)
