This love letter written from mother to child invites readers to experience a baby' s month-by-month development in the womb as compared to familiar fruits and vegetables. A mother lovingly describes the sizes and stages of her baby' s month-by-month development inside the womb, and the amazement of experiencing it from the outside. Look at you - as big as a banana! Some of your cells formed into bones,and your arms and legs grew longer. I could feel you kick!Sometimes when I rubbed my belly,I felt you thump back. Was that your way of saying hello? Simple, age-appropriate facts are woven into a tender and lyrical text that celebrates the miracle of a baby. It demystifies and informs readers, while simultaneously appreciating the wonder of it all. A perfect read-aloud for mother and child, or for children whose mothers are pregnant with a younger sibling.
