Little One, We Knew You'd Come by Sally Lloyd-Jones
Product details
Web ID: 16397682Very cute! Great for infant adoption!
Oh, this little book is just darling! As an adoptive Mama, I love when I can find picture books about a child’s birth that do not relate specifically to pregnancy. This sweet, lyrical story is told from both Mama and Papa Kangaroos’ point of view with adorable illustrations featuring them waiting for their little one’s birth. This storybook can easily work for pregnancy or adoption/placement in infancy. Because the book refers to the day a baby is born, I do not believe this book would work well for a child who was placed or adopted at an older age. With large, low gloss pages and subtle tones, the story celebrates the gift of new life and the hope and joy found therein. A great gift for a baby shower, adoption or special occasion within baby’s first year and a book that can grow with your little one up until their preschool years. *I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher.

A Story of Faith and Joy
Little One We Knew You'd Come ~ A story of faith and joy Eve Starlett's beautifully painted illustrations enrich this storybook with jewel tones and earth tones creating a restful feel. Sally Lloyd-Jones tells a story of a mama and papa kangaroo who are deeply in love and long for a little one of their own. Little One We Knew You'd Come is the chorus throughout the book. The other animals, including mice, birds, and butterflies, share in mama and papa's joy when their little one arrives. The illustrations magnify just how much they love their little one. As a mama of four who had to wait several years for the first one, I know that deep desire to have a child and the excitement and anticipation as that child grows inside. I think this book captures that joy and anticipation in a beautiful way that shows the reader's child just how much he was loved even before he was born. This is a wonderful gift for a baby shower or for a little one who just needs to be reminded of how much they are treasured. Highly recommended for every little girl or boy.

A 2022 Favorite!
Little One, We Knew You’d Come shares the sweetest story of welcoming a new baby into the world! As a grandmother of one with one on the way, this book touches me so deeply. There’s nothing as special and worthy of celebration than that of a new life. For you are fearfully and wonderfully made. PSALM 139 The watercolor illustrations are soft and tender, showing a loving bear family sharing their wonderment and gratitude of the day little one joined their family. The rhyming narration is so sweet and makes you want to cuddle and kiss your little one. This feel-good story is a 2022 favorite! The lilting narration and soft cuddly illustrations are a delight! Definitely a keeper. Disclosure: #CoverLoverBookReview received a complimentary copy of this book. 2022 Favorite!
