Description

In this charmingly illustrated book by one of France's rising stars, a mother bird recalls the arrival of her new baby and the months that follow.The day you were born was a sunny day . . . like this.I hugged you in my arms and our life together began . . . like this.A mother bird recalls the arrival of her new baby and the months that follow. She is an artist, and sits before a blank sketchbook, brushes at the ready. What was it like the first time she held her baby in her arms? What did it feel like when they were apart? And when they flew off together in her dreams? It was like this . . . and like this . . . and like this . . . With warmth and tenderness, across a minimal palette of watercolor and ink, Claire Lebourg depicts the joys, worries, and wonders of the early days of parenthood.
