It’s always good news for an author when they hear that their publisher is about to release the board book version of their picture book. Luckily for me, that’s just what happened recently with The Wonder That is You, a title that celebrates the joy parents feel when welcoming a new child into the family, whether through birth or adoption. Published by Zonderkidz and beautifully illustrated by Aurelie Blanz, this padded cover board book would make a lovely addition to an Easter basket, or as a baby shower gift. Here’s a peek inside…

It felt as if the world stood still

The day my dream came true.

And all creation paused to see

The wonder that is you.

It seemed as though the stars smiled down,

And twinkled in delight.

And peeped into my arms to see

This perfect, precious sight.

And then, I knew you were the one

Whom I was meant to hold.

And every day since you arrived,

Your story would be told.

This new board book, with whimsical illustrations and rhyming text, is available wherever books are sold.
