Baby Event: When the World Was Waiting for You Review & Giveaway

When the World Was Waiting for You is a heartwarming story that will let your child know how special he or she is and how much you anticipated his or her arrival!  This adorable book sparked great conversation between my son and I regarding the celebration of his birth and all of the anticipation and preparation that took place before his arrival.  When the World Was Waiting for You is also a fabulous book for soon to be older brothers and sisters.  You can use this book to talk about how special their births were and also talk about how your children can help you prepare for the new baby.

Not only is this story super sweet, but the illustrations are absolutely precious.  Anna Currey’s illustrations and Gillian Shields’ words combine to tell a loving story that bring back sweet memories of each of my babies.  This is the perfect book to cuddle up with your little one for some one on one time!  When the World Was Waiting for You would make a fabulous baby shower gift.  It is never to early to start building a child’s personal library!

Buy It!

You can purchase When the World Was Waiting for You online at many retailers such as, Amazon and Barnes & Noble.  This book is eligible for free shipping at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble when you make a $25 purchase.
