School Library Journal Review
PreS-Gr 1--A simple yet beautiful ode to a newborn child and the parents who love them. With gentle multi-textured illustrations, the story, suited for babies and toddlers alike, explores the potential of every child as they are guided by loving caregivers. The new translated edition has dual-language text in both English and Anishinaabemowin, a rare language to find in a picture book. The original text remains in place with the Anishinaabemowin translation below, providing exposure to a language that may be unfamiliar to many. There is no pronunciation guide to assist non-native speakers. VERDICT A first purchase for collections in need of more diverse language offerings.--Erica Deb, Matawan Aberdeen P.L., NJ
