Even before you were born, I was your grandma and I loved you. As a loving grandmother eagerly awaits the arrival of her grandchild, she imagines the baby's soft sighs, sweet smells, and tiny toes lined up like pink pearls on a necklace, and remembers what it was like when her own son was born. Finally, the new baby arrives, and all is just as Grandma dreamed it would be. Greg Shed's rich, evocative paintings tenderly capture the anticipation, wonder, and joy that a new child brings to a family. Perfect for sharing with a child of any age, this touching love poem from grandmother to grandchild convelys the miracle of this blissful event--and the timeless love that a grandmother holds for her grandchildren.
