My baby boy, Charming, turned 6 last week. I have a hard time on my kids’ birthdays. A lot of it stems from the fact that I’d love five kids and I can’t have anymore. Stupid Lupus. Anyway, birthdays make me cry. A lot. This book, On the Day You Were Born, didn’t help matters.
My sister gave it to me at the hospital the day Charming was born. I cried then too.
It’s all about the earth welcoming new life onto the planet. Warmth, the circle of life, birth.
It’s a perfect gift for someone who’s expecting a baby in their lives. Or for new mothers who might not remember why it was a good idea to have kids in the first place.
I read it to Charming every year on his birthday, and it helps make up the difference for all the times he destroys something precious in my life.
Great birthday book.

Cathy, it’s absolutely adorable. Love it.
I have that book! It was a gift to me when my 4 year old was born. I love it too. Thanks for the reminder to pull it out and read!
No! Really? I had never heard of it until my sister gave it to me and I’ve been in love with it since then. LOVE it.
