A family gets ready to greet a new baby As a father helps his children get ready for school, the busy sounds of day unfold: Bus honks and bells, Dishes and shoes, Whirring of tires and Crackle of news... Then night falls and the sounds are different: Wind singing, Sometimes rain Slapping leaves on Windowpane... But this is no ordinary day - or night. Listening to the clock tick, this family is waiting for something exciting to happen - and it does, when a new baby arrives. Rich, playful paintings combine with lyrical language to tell a warm, vibrant story of family.
