Good message
I absolutely love this book! The message of love that is unconditional,strong, and bonded is heartwarming. This is a "feel good" book with lovely art illustration. My daughter has this book for her children, and I bought it as part of a baby shower gift for a first time mom.

the unconditional love of a parent regardless of what their child is
This book is so heart-warming. I read it to my 11 month old and it has a special message that we should all learn from our parents: the unconditional love of a parent regardless of what their child is; it made cry quite frankly. This is what I wish my parents did for me and what I will strive to do for her. This book is a good way to share that message and remember it. The illustrations are beautiful. I am not an art critic so pardon my use of words to describe it. It isn't 100% realistic, but very close to it that it meets my criteria of keeping things realistic looking for my infant. Their a varied use of colors that pleasing that while vibrant are not too much so as to be too stimulating before bed. It is a good size to be comfortable to hold with a baby in your arms for a bed time story and also big enough for an infant to hold and flip the pages themselves. There is variety to the way the format of the pages which keeps things moving at an engaging pace. Some have a few sentences and gives time to linger on the images for a little, others a few words. It also gives the opportunity for the child to engage when older by asking them a couple of questions. In summary, there is a reason this book is so popular. It is very well thought out. I will be purchasing more from Nancy Tillman.

Beautiful Book!
The illustrations are lovely and the story so sweet. I bought a copy to give to my daughter (she'll be turning 31 this year), because you are never too old for a wonderful "children's" book.

Love this book and all of her others like this! Best books to buy, hands down!!!
Best writer out there. We are working on collecting all of her books with this type of artwork. Every one we have bought has made me cry! They're beautiful books in every way. The best books you can buy for a child, young or grown, or anyone who really means the world to you. Growing up being bounced around from foster home to foster home and back with my parents and back into foster homes, I never got to hold on to anything for long. I always loved reading and escaping into books though. We wanted to be sure our boys always have books at arm's reach, books that say something real, that they can always hold on to....even if one day, God forbid, we aren't there to read the books to them. Her stories read like songs, the message is always clear and beautiful and the artwork is stunning! We can't wait to have them all and almost do. Nancy better get to work!

Lovely! Another wonderful addition to our library
Simply lovely! I have gifted on several occasions, and then received when I was pregnant, On the Night You Were Born. I've cried several times reading this to my daughter since she was a few weeks old. Then I added Go To Sleep, My Love and that has been a favorite every night for months. I just received this title and read it to my now 13 month old daughter and this may take the #1 spot. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful! The poetic story is so touching and it melts my heart! My daughter has enjoyed these books thoroughly. After reading, we go through and identify all the animals and their sounds. It makes a fun interactive game. These books will stay in our collection for years as classics. A great gift!

A Beautiful Book ~ a beautiful theme
Nancy Tillman has been a favorite children's book author for a while now, so I preordered this book when I first heard about it. This book is another winner.This book is special because it's not only beautifully written, and has gorgeous illustrations, but it has an important message as well. It's a story that reinforces the message that each child is unique and that it is okay to be different, and more importantly, no matter what --- we, as parents, will love our children as they are.Bears, owls, fox, camels, koalas, raccoons, giraffes and more adorn the pages with sweet rhyming text to reinforce the message.Love it - This book is a keeper.
