Author Description

The first night that one line transformed into two, my heart skipped a beat, then began beating for you. Our children may grow out of the laps that they sit on and the arms that hold them, but they will never grow out of the place they have in our hearts. From the first night they lay on our chest, to the many other firsts of life, to long after they've grown up and left the nest, our hearts are always their homes, and they are forever our babies. First Night depicts this cherished connection between mom and baby from one heart to the other. With soft, warm illustrations and a narrative capturing the beginning of pregnancy, the baby being born, the child growing up, and everything in between, this touching tale will deeply resonate with any mother and will remind every child that they are completely and unconditionally loved--as they were from their very first heartbeat.
