Description
“A beautiful welcome and a thank you to the Indigenous child who brings joy into the parents’ lives.”—School Library Journal
In this sweet and lyrical picture book from the creators of the bestselling Little You, gentle rhythmic text captures the wonder new parents feel as they welcome baby into the world. Internationally renowned storyteller and bestselling author Richard Van Camp teams up with award-winning illustrator Julie Flett for a second time to create a stunning book for young readers. A celebration of the bond between parent and child, this is the perfect song to share with your little ones.

Praise for Little You by Richard Van Camp and Julie Flett:
★ "Van Camp composes a lyrical ode to a newborn child, which is matched in its loveliness by Flett's exquisite, collage-like images of a young one with his or her parents."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
